Destination2 seem to come up as cheapest option for lots of ME destinations too.

Do you need a visa if simply transit via Mumbai?

We are going to be transiting Mumbai on the way home on our Maldives / Sri Lanka trip. I have been looking for how to apply for a transit visa as we need to collect our bags in Mumbai and then check-in for our BA reward flight to LHR. Nothing conclusive on this, everything I see tells me I need to go to an Indian embassy/consolute/high-commission for a transit visa and I cant do the whole process online. The website above also appears to be dead.
thanks.

That’s not a transit. Transit implies not leaving airside. This requires clearing immigration as masaccio suggests above.
