Transit Time Delhi
My emirates flight would be landing around 2.30 AM and i am planning to book Indigo to Nagpur at 5.15 AM from Terminal 1 . Will i be able to catch the flight ?
I am flying business so immigration should be around 5 - 10 mins . Any experience ?

Immigration isn't 5-10 mins nowadays due to the additional health checks and potential PCR test requirement (depending where you are coming in from). 2h45min is no good for that and a terminal change.

if you are not subject to covid testing then you should be able to make it in time for your second flight....

As far as i know international transit is not allowed in india as of now. You need to cross immigration and then take the next flight .
