India is one of the trickier eSIM markets — most tourist eSIMs (Airalo, Holafly, Truphone) work for data from landing, but full local SIMs from Airtel/Jio/Vi require in-person KYC with passport, visa copy, and photo, which can take 20-30 minutes at an airport counter.

Insider tip

Connecting to #MumbaiAirportWiFi needs an OTP sent to a working mobile number; if you don't have local roaming, skip the self-service step and go straight to an Information Desk or WiFi Kiosk with your passport for a password instead.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.

eSIM for India

Skip the SIM card queue. Activate a data plan before you land and connect the moment you arrive in Mumbai.
