Is Mumbai airport BOM visa free for transit flying from Thailand to Europe?

There was an issue few years back so looking for recent experience.

TIA
Answer summary
Recent experiences indicate that no visa is necessary for transit at Mumbai airport (BOM) when traveling from Thailand to Europe. Travelers reported a unique procedure where their name is checked against a list and their inbound boarding pass is collected before entering the transit security area, but overall, the process is manageable.

great to hear, thank you 🙏

They used to require visa even for transit.

No visa was necessary when we transited there in April (US passport and Thai passport). The procedure is a bit strange - they have your name on a list, and collect and keep your inbound boarding pass before allowing you into the transit security screening area - but it works.
