Not much new news here but besides Africa, it looks like TF5 is also headed to India. This production really is a world wide event! Transformers 5: Michael Bay Says Next Stop India and Africa For Shoot!
To me it seems like they pulled India out of thin air. The whole article was talking about the Facebook live video and they mention Bay said India and Africa next when he just said Africa in the video.
Lots of cool looking filming locations in India. But I'm also of that camp that maybe it's establishing shots because it seems like there is already so much rumored to be going on in the film without adding an act set in India to the mix.
