India locked itself down in March 2020, stopping all flights inwards as well. A significant consequence of these seven weeks of lockdown has been that there are millions of Indians stranded outside their homeland. Earlier this week, the Government of India has started to put together a comprehensive measure to start evacuation flights to India from the United States, United Kingdom, the Middle East and South-East Asia beginning Thursday, May 7, 2020.
The repatriation will happen in a phased manner. The Government of India has handed out all these flights to Air India, and the first week of evacuation flights will bring back about 15,000 stranded Indians from 13 countries, between May 7 and May 14, 2020.
While the earlier repatriation, for instance, for those evacuated from Wuhan was done for free, this round of returns will cost the passenger money, as it will be a much bigger round and in the first week, 15000 people are expected to be airlifted. Since so many people are enquiring about the prices of these flights, I am putting out the Air India Flight Ticket Price list for common reference of the various sectors, in Economy Class.
You can keep track of all the flights being organised to fly people from India and into India on these Air India flights for the schedules and how to get on those planes.
I know these are prohibitive prices, but my guess is even at these prices flights into India will be full. However, on the outside of India flights, given the vague nature of the approval process, for now, I am not confident these flights will be filled up.
What do you make of Air India’s new plan to evacuate Indians from other countries back into the country? I hope other airlines will be brought into the mix soon and prices come down as well.

Why is the govt not permitting otherbIndian carriers u o operste??? They are afraid no one would want to and like to travel by AI,, this is a move made to only let AI make money and deprive the others,, indeed a shame but clever game being played by the govt as well as Puri, but rsther unprofessional
The one way orice is £700 more which is extortion however at least it is a flight. Problem is how to we travel from punjab to delhi. Taxt drivers do not want to take risk
AI through the govt wsnts to make money rhats thecreason for over chsrge and not permitting other indian carriers and international carriers to operate
