ITA and other sites quote a fare of 427.50 USD with a fare code of WE3M.
However, these sites can’t book it and keeps telling me to book it on IC’s website. But every time I go to their website it seems it won’t let me book International flights.
How do I book this flight?
Do I call Indian Airlines in India?
Is there still Fare Discrimination for foreigners?
Is this the cheapest fare?
Thanks for the input.

The IC website (will be merged with AI's) doesn't show any foreign destinations.

You can call them, or if you have a company or individual sponsoring you, they can arrange the ticket, as there *still* appears to be fare discrimination for foreigners, especially when they see your foreign credit card!
Thus, book through a TA. If you need one, PM me, and I can direct you.
ITA usually gives you the cheapest fares, although not always some special airline website internet-only fares, like LH and SK might have online...
