India has now issued fresh guidelines for international travellers. As per the latest travel update, children under 5 years of age will be exempted from both pre-and-post-arrival testing.

However, as per the reports, if anyone found symptomatic for COVID-19 during home quarantine period or on arrival, they will have to undergo treatment and testing as per the protocol.
As per the COVID-19 protocols that are laid out by the Indian Government, all passengers will have to wear masks properly, and cover their mouth and nose, throughout the travel. And if anybody found violating the protocols inside the aircraft, will be deboarded and will not be allowed to travel.

Referring to this, India's External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar stated that the government is working towards the resumption of scheduled flights.
While addressing the media, India’s External Affairs Minister added that they are moving towards resumption of scheduled flights. Reports have it that earlier this week, India also sent out a request to the UAE to end mandatory rapid PCR testing requirements for entry.

The India's Ministry of Home Affairs further held a meeting recently to discuss the removal of mandatory rapid PCR test for fully vaccinated travellers going to countries in the Middle East, especially the UAE. As per the travel rules in place, travellers are required to take a rapid PCR test six hours before their departure from any Indian airport.
The UAE has put this rule in place for passengers from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and Nigeria.
