I have just completed a 3 day trip to Boisar (by car) via BOM. from LHR, this week, so this should help you.
The following was required,
Complete BA form and email 24 hours before travel, see BA website for address this requires PCR test result just put negative if your test result is late. Obviously if positive you will not be flying.
Fill out the online exemption form (
https://www.newdelhiairport.in/airsu...onal-passenger), this can be done less than 24 hours before flying. The application was acknowledged in about 5 minutes, and confirmation of exemption was received within 4 hours.
The forms that BA give out during the flight for the Indian Health Ministry are out of date and the new version is required, this is given out after the baggage hall.
After exiting the plane, there is a check point to show the Air Suvidha documents, you will need copy of your Negative PCR test..
You will require driver details, car reg and tele number for this form. There are a number of different points where documentation has to be shown depending on your final destination.. This is photographed on your own mobile and must be shown before exiting the terminal.
For returning, no tests required
Quite simple and easier than I expected.
