International transfers BA to 6E at MAA and 6E to BA at DEL
Two friends are using a 241 for their honeymoon in Sri Lanka flying via Chennai and New Delhi using 6E (Indigo) to get to and from Columbo.
Any tips for transfering BA to 6E at MAA and 6E to BA at DEL? Am I correct in thinking that they will NOT need any form of transit visa?
I am fully aware that on the outbound at least BA will not check their bags through, are 6E more flexible with checked bags?

Sorry to be pedantic but just to confirm with similar but different situation. Coming into Delhi from Kathmandu on Indigo (into Terminal 2) and leaving later (less than 24 hours) on BA from Terminal 3. Will be on separate tickets and therefore assume I will need to get a Transit Visa ?
On another point, have read that a transit visa is only valid for 15 days from Issuance. If I am trekking in Nepal for 2-3 weeks, how am I supposed to get a transit visa as will not be able to get one before I go. Will I just have to apply for a normal Indian Tourist Visa before I leave (which I assume I can use for the purpose of a transit ?)
Are the rules the same for an EU and USA passport holders ?
