The Indian government had previously also launched a special evacuation mission, known as the Vande Bharat Mission. As part of this mission, it brought about 158 Indian flights stuck from foreign countries and began operations on May 7. Initially, it was decided that the number of flights would be 64. Later, the aviation authorities were forced to increase the fleet number to return more than 30,000 Indians. Now, the government is allowing OCI cardholders to enter the country as well.
