Narrative:
IndiGo Airlines flight 6E6764, an Airbus A321-251NX, declared a low fuel emergency during a diversion to BLR. The aircraft landed safely.

Flight 6764 departed Guwahati (GAU) at 11:17 UTC (16:47 LT), bound for Chennai (MAA).
At 13:56 UTC, the approach to Chennai's runway 25 was aborted and the crew executed a go-around, reportedly after failing to receive a clearance to land.
Because of congestion at Chennai Airport, the flight reportedly was forced to divert to Bengaluru-Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), where it safely landed at 14:45 UTC (19:45 LT).
