										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is examining the possibility of introducing specific restrictions on the use of power banks during flights after evaluating international safety practices.</p>
<p>This move follows an incident on October 19 when a passenger’s power bank caught fire on an IndiGo aircraft while taxiing at Delhi airport for a Dimapur-bound flight. The cabin crew quickly brought the situation under control and prevented further damage.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-26334 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717-300x277.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="395" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717-300x277.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717-1024x945.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717-768x709.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717-750x693.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717-1140x1053.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-2-e1761673480717.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px" /></a>A senior official stated that the regulator is studying global regulations before finalizing any measures. While some restrictions may be implemented to enhance safety, there are currently no plans to impose a complete ban on carrying or using power banks in flight.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26335 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963-300x282.jpg" alt="" width="522" height="490" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963-300x282.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963-1024x963.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963-768x722.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963-750x705.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963-1140x1072.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/power-bank-3-e1761673759963.jpg 1276w" sizes="(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px" /></a>Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu also confirmed on October 25 that the DGCA is reviewing the matter thoroughly. Existing aviation safety rules already require strict adherence when carrying electronic items containing lithium batteries on board aircraft.</p>
