The Embassy in New Delhi has advised the U.S. Department of State that visas issued by the Indian Embassy or any Indian Consulate to foreign nationals, including U.S. prospective adoptive parents, prior to India's implementation of COVID-19 restrictions on March 13, 2020, are no longer valid. All prospective adoptive parents affected by this cancellation of Indian visas must apply for a new visa once India lifts its travel restrictions. At this time, these COVID-19 travel restrictions remain in place. We do not have further information on any pending change.

Adoptive parents who hold current Indian passports or Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cards are able to travel to India.  However, they should  be aware of the current Travel Advisory issued by the Department of State on August 6, 2020:  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/india-travel-advisory.html
