So even if you test negative you still have to spend 7 days sitting around and twiddling your thumb? And what if you have no "home" in India but were planning to stay at a hotel?
This is similar to the rule they had initially when they resumed international flights in 2020. You had to quarantine at home (or in your hotel) on arrival for a set number of days. No one followed up to see if this was actually being done.
