No airline operates a non-stop from AMD to Sheremetyevo (SVO). The clearest routing is via Delhi: IndiGo or Air India connect AMD–DEL (≈ 1h 40m), then Air India's DEL–SVO non-stop (≈ 6h 30m) completes the journey. With a 2–3 hour layover at Delhi, total elapsed time is ≈ 10–11 hours. This is Air India's main Russia route and it operates with reasonable frequency. Alternatively, Emirates connects via Dubai (AMD–DXB ≈ 2h 15m, DXB–SVO ≈ 5h), and flydubai also serves DXB–SVO, making a Gulf-hub routing feasible at ≈ 9–11 hours. Etihad via Abu Dhabi (AUH–SVO) is a third Gulf option. Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST–SVO ≈ 3h 30m) is another alternative for travellers who do not mind a slightly longer journey time.
The AMD–SVO great-circle distance is ≈ 4,340 km. Moscow Standard Time (MSK) is UTC+3, which is 2h 30m behind IST (UTC+5:30). An Ahmedabad morning departure arriving in Moscow early evening local time is achievable on well-timed Air India connections. Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) is Russia's largest and busiest airport, located ≈ 30 km northwest of Moscow city centre. The Aeroexpress train connects SVO (Terminals B/D/E/F) to Belorussky Station in central Moscow in ≈ 35 minutes and runs every 30 minutes from 05:00–00:30 daily. Metro line from Belorussky is then extensive. Taxis and Yandex are available but road travel from SVO can be 60–90 minutes in peak traffic.
Indian passport holders require a visa to enter Russia. As of 2026, Russia's e-visa is available to Indian nationals (applied at evisa.kdmid.ru), valid for 16 days of stay. Processing typically takes ≈ 4 business days and costs USD 40. For longer stays, a standard tourist visa requires an invitation letter from an accredited Russian tour operator or hotel, which is then submitted to the Russian Consulate in Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai. Given ongoing international payment restrictions affecting Russia (many Western card networks are limited), it is advisable to use Mir card-compatible payments or RuPay in Russia where possible, or carry sufficient USD or EUR cash. See /visas for the most current India–Russia visa guidance.
Air India operates the DEL–SVO route, typically using Boeing 787 Dreamliner or Boeing 777 equipment on this long segment. Economy class on Air India international routes allows 25 kg checked baggage. In-flight entertainment is available on the 787; service quality has improved following Tata Group's acquisition and ongoing integration. The AMD–DEL feeder is operated by Air India's narrow-body fleet or by IndiGo under a separate booking. When booking AMD–DEL–SVO as a single Air India itinerary (where possible), baggage transfers automatically and connection protection applies. Note that Air India's Russia schedule has occasionally been adjusted due to geopolitical factors — confirm schedule stability before booking.
Since 2022, major Western payment networks (Visa, Mastercard) have largely suspended operations in Russia, meaning Indian-issued Visa and Mastercard cards do not work at Russian ATMs or point-of-sale terminals. RuPay — India's domestic card network — has an agreement with Russia's Mir payment system, and RuPay cards issued by certain Indian banks have been reported to work at select Russian ATMs and hotels. The safest approach is to carry USD cash and exchange at Moscow banks or licensed changers (avoid airport kiosks for best rates). Bitcoin and other crypto payments have informal use in Russia but are not recommended for tourist transactions. Plan your cash requirements carefully before departure — this is a genuinely important logistics point for Indian travellers in 2026.
Moscow's peak tourist season is May through September, when the city is warm and cultural life — from the Bolshoi Ballet to outdoor festivals — is at its most active. The famous 'white nights' phenomenon (extended daylight) peaks in June. Fares on the AMD–SVO corridor typically rise for May–August departures. Winter (November–March) is Moscow's low season for tourism — temperatures drop well below zero, and some outdoor attractions lose appeal. However, the city's museums (Tretyakov Gallery, Kremlin Armouries) are excellent year-round. December sees the famous Tverskaya Street decorations and Christmas markets. Book 8–12 weeks ahead for summer travel; 4–6 weeks is usually sufficient for winter.
Sheremetyevo International Airport is one of the world's largest airports by passenger volume. Terminal B handles domestic Aeroflot flights; Terminals D, E, and F handle international arrivals. Air India uses Terminal F. On arrival, follow immigration signage carefully; Sheremetyevo's immigration can be slow at peak arrivals times — allow 60–90 minutes for immigration and baggage claim. The Aeroexpress train from Terminal D/E/F departs every 30 minutes to Belorussky Station (≈ 35 min), from where the Moscow Metro connects the entire city. The Moscow Metro is one of the world's finest — extensive, punctual, and inexpensive. Troika rechargeable cards (sold at station kiosks) work on metro, buses, and trams. Yandex Taxi is reliable in Moscow.
The Kremlin complex — including the Cathedral of the Assumption, Archangel Cathedral, and the Armoury museum — is Moscow's unmissable highlight and takes a full half-day. Red Square and the iconic St Basil's Cathedral are immediately adjacent. The Tretyakov Gallery houses the definitive collection of Russian art from medieval icons through to the 20th century. GUM, the historic department store on Red Square, is worth a visit for its architecture and upscale dining. Gorky Park on the Moscow River is excellent for an afternoon walk. Indian restaurants exist in Moscow (particularly around Arbat and Tverskaya); vegetarian options are also available at Georgian restaurants (a staple of Moscow's dining scene) which feature walnut-based vegetable dishes and cheese breads. Moscow's food delivery apps work well and include Indian options in central areas.
No non-stop AMD–SVO service exists as of 2026. The fastest routing is via Delhi on Air India (AMD–DEL ≈ 1h 40m + DEL–SVO ≈ 6h 30m), for a total elapsed time of ≈ 10–11 hours. Gulf hub connections via Dubai or Abu Dhabi are also available.
Yes. An e-visa is available for Indian nationals (16-day stay, USD 40, ≈ 4 business days processing). For longer stays, a consular tourist visa with an invitation letter is required. Check <a href="/visas">/visas</a> for current requirements and the e-visa application process.
Standard Indian Visa and Mastercard cards do not work in Russia as of 2026 due to network suspensions. RuPay cards have limited acceptance via the Mir network at select Russian banks. Carrying USD cash and exchanging locally is the most reliable approach.
Via Delhi on Air India, total elapsed time is ≈ 10–11 hours (AMD–DEL ≈ 1h 40m + 2h connection + DEL–SVO ≈ 6h 30m). Via Dubai on Emirates/flydubai, total is ≈ 9–11 hours depending on connection timing.
May–September is Moscow's warmest and most tourist-friendly season, with June–July being peak. Fares are higher in summer. November–March offers lower fares and a wintery city experience. Book 8–12 weeks ahead for summer and 4–6 weeks for winter travel.
The Aeroexpress train runs from Terminals D/E/F to Belorussky Station in ≈ 35 minutes, then the Moscow Metro connects citywide. Taxis (Yandex) take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. The Aeroexpress is the most reliable, time-consistent option.
