TLDR : 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.

I've transited through Indian airports with international connections without issues. What was the issue?

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.
