如何评价印度将开展史上最大规模撤侨行动，预计接回170万因新冠滞留海外的印度公民？ 第1页

至少从规模上看相当精惊人：Vande Bharat（致敬婆罗多）应该是此次新冠疫情中规模最大的撤侨行动，并且成为21世纪以来规模最大的一次撤侨行动。

目前已经能查到Phase 1的84趟撤侨航班、5月24日Phase 2的260趟航班和24号增补的169趟航班，共513趟航班。航班从美国、海湾国家、东南亚，到印度国内各邦。

“Vande Bharat”任务从5月第一周起进行，撤侨航班飞往包括越南、老挝、孟加拉国、海湾国家以及美国、英国和欧洲等国家和地区。该任务将在6月中旬进入到第三阶段，其中第一阶段安排航班84次，第二阶段，前期安排班机260次，后期航班169次。每一航班可载客人数大多在140——320之间。每天，都有近千人通过该计划飞回印度。最新的一则报道显示， 5月25日，833名印度人通过四架航班从多哈、旧金山、墨尔本和悉尼返回了印度。

目前撤侨任务进行到第二阶段，6月份还会有第三阶段。

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is busy coordinating with all the Indian Missions/Posts to get ready for Phase III of repatriation. This was confirmed by the official spokesperson of the MEA, Anurag Srivastava to Financial Express Online. Responding to a query related to the next phase, he said, “At the end of the ongoing Phase II of repatriation on June 13, the next phase will start. Besides the national carrier, the government is considering the proposal of allowing private airlines to participate in the evacuation mission, too.”
As has been reported by Financial Express Online, since there are not many flights going towards South America due to the long distance and Air India has no flights going that way, “It has now been decided that under the hub-and-spoke model, passengers will be brought from distant destinations to a hub airport. And, Frankfurt has been identified as the hub airport,” according to a source.
Right now, flights are being sent to the neighbourhood countries including Vietnam, Laos, Bangladesh, to the Gulf countries and to the US, the UK and Europe.

撤回国的主要是蓝领工人和留学生，二者在第一阶段占了撤侨总人数的53%。

在第一阶段，返回者以学生和蓝领工人居多。在这些人中，有28％（4883）是工人，约25％（4196）是学生。

//不过据说他们有人吐槽撤侨回国还得自己掏钱？

以目前的规模和力度来看，印度撤侨的规模超过本次疫情中所有撤侨的国家应该是没什么问题的。但是至于170万么......上面两个阶段的航班按每趟300多人算，至多也只有20万。莫非印度海军打算撤走150万人？

但是从报道上看，第一阶段印度海军接回国的侨民只是四位数emmmm......
