DGCA bans one power bank model after Indigo scare
India's aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has prohibited a specific model of power bank from being carried on flights within, to or from India following a fire incident on an IndiGo flight. The incident occurred on a Delhi-Chennai IndiGo flight 6E 6115, which was diverted to Hyderabad when a passenger's power bank caught fire mid-air.
The DGCA restriction targets the MOBIKINS MK-PB-04 power bank, emphasizing the potential safety risks associated with this particular model. Passengers are advised to identify the make and model of any power bank they plan to carry and adhere to airline and aviation authority instructions.
