Murli Manohar Tiwari (sipu),New Delhi<\/strong>, October 15. India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has prohibited the carriage of a specific power bank model, MOBIKINS MK-PB-04, on flights operating within, to and from India following a reported fire incident aboard an IndiGo aircraft.<\/p>\n

The restriction, issued through Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) No. 14\/2026, applies to cabin baggage, checked baggage and cargo.<\/p>\n

Nepal Airlines has also issued a notice informing passengers about the restriction on its India-bound and India-originating flights.<\/p>\n

Importantly, the prohibition does not apply to all power banks. Passengers may continue carrying other permitted models, subject to existing airline safety regulations governing lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n

Travellers flying between Nepal and India are advised to check their power bank model and airline baggage requirements before departure.<\/p>\n
