Foreign pilots can work in India, but they must convert their foreign license to a DGCA-approved Indian CPL. This involves passing DGCA exams, clearing a medical test, and proving ICAO-compliant flying experience.
Indian airlines occasionally hire foreign pilots for specific aircraft types, but preference is given to Indian-trained pilots. Regulatory restrictions also apply to the issuance of work permits for foreign pilots.
