DGCA rules power banks carry-on only
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) rolled out new rules in 2026 banning the use of power banks for charging during flights, and only allowing them as carry-on (not in checked baggage) because of fire risks.
This incident is a reminder to follow those safety guidelines.
IndiGo has not commented yet, but it is clear lithium-ion batteries on planes are nothing to mess with.
