Normally it's not needed, but since you're on separate tickets, you might have to get one if you check luggage, as you'll most likely have to claim and re-check it.

Maybe they can rush it in a week in Indonesia; I'm not really sure.

If you don't have any checked luggage then you technically don't need a transit visa, but you'll wish you had one if you misconnect. Not sure if they grant emergency transit visas in BOM, if that becomes necessary.
