UPDATE 1-India's IndiGo signs one-way codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways - Reuters:

Top Indian airline IndiGo said on Thursday it signed a one-way codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways, letting the Middle Eastern airline get more access to the fast-growing Indian market.

India has not increased the capacity rights available to Qatari carriers since 2009, so the deal will help Qatar Airways bypass restrictions on adding more flights by funnelling passengers onto the low-cost carrier. A codeshare allows an airline to sell tickets on the allied carrier’s flights.

India is traditionally a strong market for Gulf airlines like Qatar Airways and Emirates, with millions of Indians working in Gulf Arab states, while travellers from India also use the Gulf to connect to Europe and North America.
