DGCA orders airlines to keep Mobicins MK‑PB‑04 power banks off all Indian flights

In response to a fire incident involving a Mobicins MK‑PB‑04 power‑bank on an Indigo aircraft, the DGCA has mandated that no Indian airline may transport this device on any flight. The directive requires carriers to identify the model, bar its inclusion in cabin or hold luggage, and circulate safety notices to passengers. The prohibition is model‑specific and does not extend to all power‑banks. Passengers should verify the model number of their portable chargers and adhere to airline instructions. The move tightens existing rules that limit lithium‑ion batteries to hand‑carry only and forbid their use during flight.
