TLDR : Answer Summary

Several UK citizens shared their experiences regarding transit through India, indicating no significant visa issues were encountered. Most comments affirmed that traveling through India typically does not require a visa, especially when in transit at airports. The conversation also included some light-hearted commentary unrelated to the main question.

I can’t see why you would have problems. You’re in transit, which normally doesn’t need a visa.

I did Jet Airways a few times and no issues with a UK passport at Mumbai or Delhi.

Usual queue at security with everyone jumping the line.
