The incident took place on Tuesday when the Bangkok-Delhi flight UK-122 reached the Delhi airport on a single-engine.
According to airlines the crew decided to tow the aircraft to the parking area for the safety of passengers.
"After landing in Delhi, while taxing to the parking bay, our flight UK122 (BKK-DEL) had a minor electrical malfunction on 05 July, 2022. Keeping passenger safety and comfort in mind the crew elected to tow the aircraft to the bay," Vistara said in a statement.
Aviation regulator DGCA earlier on Wednesday, issued a show-cause notice to SpiceJet following eight technical malfunction incidents involving the airline's planes in the last 18 days.
SpiceJet has failed to "establish safe, efficient and reliable air services" under the terms of Rule 134 and Schedule XI of the Aircraft Rules, 1937, the notice issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated.
"The review (of the incidents) transpires that poor internal safety oversight and inadequate maintenance actions (as most of the incidents were related to either component failure or system-related failure) have resulted in degradation of the safety margins," it added.
