IndiGo 6E 6115: Reported Power-Bank Fire Diverts Delhi–Chennai Flight

IndiGo flight 6E 6115 was operating from Delhi to Chennai on 11 October 2026 when smoke was detected from a passenger’s personal electronic device. IndiGo said the crew responded promptly, the situation was controlled and the pilots diverted to Hyderabad under established procedures. Hindustan Times reported 191 people aboard and a safe landing around 3.15 pm. Several reports identified the device as a power bank, but IndiGo’s own quoted statement described it more generally as a personal electronic device. This case study keeps that distinction clear.
