Thousands if not more Indians have been stranded all over, as government suddenly closed entry to their own citizens. Even incidents like a KLM flight being not allowed to land in Delhi because it had Indians on board. Much confusing instructions from the government to airlines. Passengers from Europe were banned, but the confusing instructions meant that passengers transiting through Europe also were banned. Then seemingly without material change in situation, now the Government is allowing flights back to India.

Also these flights are being operated at full capacity, no social distancing. People have to pay for seats beforehand too, while other countries like US only requires an indemnity bond for future payment for evacuation flights.

Well if a rule was unreasonably harsh you hardly need a material change in the situation to change it, do you? You can't complain that they weren't letting Indians into India, and then complain that they suddenly started to let Indians back into India.

I think that's their point. It's tantamount to admitting the earlier decision was without basis.

Point is it shows how wrong the original situation was, or vice versa

Mathematically, someone can say P, or not-P, or "P and not-P". One of those is most obviously wrong.

The KLM flight would have landed after the border closure. The presence of Indians on the flight had nothing to do with it.
