Update: For Phase Two of flights from India to other countries, please check here.
While the process of choosing passengers for the flights from other countries to India has been left to the High Commissions/Consulates/Embassies of India in those respective countries, Air India is also selling seats on the outward flights at the moment. In a note circulated by Air India on Social Media, Air India has clearly stated that they will only be selling tickets on the outwards flights to Singapore, United Kingdom and the United States of America for now. Air India Express will fly some passengers to Bahrain and Qatar as well. Malaysia also just got added to the list.
To book these flights, you have to head to this specific Air India website. I have put together a list of all the Air India flights bookable on the Air India website for now. There are also flights to Bahrain.

What to expect on the plane?
Air India’s Standard Operating Procedure for these flights includes handing out masks and sanitizers to every passenger boarding. Only Water Bottles and pre-packed snacks will be offered to the passengers, so it is well advised to have a full meal or carry some protein bars and carry a tablet full of your own content if you want to watch something on these flights given there will be no internet connectivity on board.
Bottomline
I expect that there will be more flights at some point in the future, for now, however, there are only going to be these ones to use. The reason all these flights are either from Delhi or Mumbai is that these are the bases of these aircraft, and Air India is trying to help some people getting them on the empty legs too.

@alefya best to contact the MEA/MoCA to check if they will allow you to board. There are no problems arriving in UK but will India allow you to depart is a different thing
Sorry typing mistake. I am an Indian national. How do I contact the the MEA/MoCA ? Can u forward me the contact nos?
@Alefya it would be better to have your son fly back to India on the repatriation flights than for you to get there. the MoCA website will have their phone number. civilaviation.gov.in

Please advise and assist how does one travel with a little child (less than 2 yrs old) from Kolkata to either Delhi or Mumbai to take a flight to Newark, USA? Have been stuck in Kolkata for over 2 months.
@Manoj, driving is the only option.
I know someone in Bangalore who needs to get to San Francisco. There is an empty Bangalore delhi flight in the middle but not bookable. Can people from delhi only travel to San Francisco? I have a friend sitting in patna who needs to fly to Singapore. He couldn’t get on the Singapore airline organized charters as there was no way to get from patna to delhi or Bombay last month. He is now travelling by road to delhi to get on the air india flight. But Bangalore is very far from delhi by road.
No domestic connections as of now. Flights only are non-stop ex-India
