Under the new rules that are in place now, Indian travellers only need to carry a negative RT-PCR report of a test taken within 48 hours of their scheduled flight. Also, they will be subjected to a on-arrival test at the airport and will have to self-quarantine till the results are declared. 

In case a passenger tests positive, they will have to follow the guidelines issued by the relevant health authorities.
