A Paris-bound Air India flight returned to the national capital shortly after the take-off on Friday afternoon, following a sighting of suspected tyre-burst on the runway after departure.
In a statement, the airline said the flight landed safely at the Delhi airport at 1418 hours.
Sources said the aircraft had apparently suffered a tyre-burst and there were more than 200 passengers on board.
According to the Flight Radar app, the airplane, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, circled over Charkhi Dadri in Haryana, about 100 km from Delhi, for about 40 minutes before landing safely at the Delhi airport.
