Layover in UK does not need a transit visa

Not completely caught up on the travel restrictions but last I heard (around Jan) was that there are enhanced quarantine enforcement/ testing/ tracing measures for people coming from the EU/UK to India than for US.

Better to take a direct flight from US to India
