IndiGo Fire Scare Triggers DGCA Review Of Power Bank Rules On Flights Across India

India’s aviation regulator DGCA is reviewing power bank rules after the recent IndiGo fire incident raised fresh concerns over lithium-ion battery safety on flights. While there is no ban yet, officials are studying global regulations as countries like South Korea and Japan tighten norms after multiple onboard battery-related incidents. The DGCA had already restricted charging phones using power banks during flights earlier this year, but rising cases are now pushing authorities to consider stricter measures. Could power banks soon face tighter restrictions onboard flights in India?
