It is the same plane as the tickets from BOM are much cheaper. Do I need as a german an indian Visa? and is it possible to connect in this 2 hour window?

thanks for your advice.
The EK desk at DXB, or your point of origin should be able to do a check-in for your EK501 segment, thus saving you time at BOM.

Upon arrival at the BOM-CSIA T2, there is a transit / transfer section on the right, just before the Passport Control (for the arriving pax).

I am unsure, if you would need the visa if you use the transfer desk option. However, EK staff at DXB, would have a fairly good idea about it.

Good Luck and do share the pictures and posts. ^

PS: there's a fair bit of walk from the A380-certified gates to the main hall of the terminal building. This will take a fair bit of time, both- while arriving and departing..!
