This is the impetus for the Indian carrier uplift being experienced by Vistara and others including the Virgin services though even now there remains considerable difficulty in British Indians gaining the right to travel .
Quoting FCO
Travel to India is subject to entry restrictions
A limited number of flights are operating between the UK and India under a bilateral agreement but these are subject to strict eligibility criteria and details may change at short notice. You should check the relevant airline website for up to date information.
If you are eligible to travel to India you will need to quarantine after arrival.
Indeed the FCO web page actually still reports scheduled international flights remain suspended and that those operating are essentially scheduled charters !
