Hard to find since it's not linked on their main site, but I think this will greatly assist you with evaluating their reqs:

http://www.flykingfisher.com/expatpilots.html

Also, from a few sources there, I know that Kingfisher doesn't normally upgrade foreigners (although you might not be considered a foreigner?).

You might do better looking at Indigo. They upgrade foreign FOs.

Your MAJOR issue is determining this: does the DGCA consider you an "indian citizen" or a "expat." That will have a massive impact on the requirements you need to get a job.

If you're an Indian citizen, you WILL get hired onto an A320 or ATR with a fast command upgrade after converting your licenses to DGCA. I have Indian friends who went to Kingfisher to fly ATRs (don't knock the t-prop...those dudes are making tons of cash) and some on the bus with 0 on type and 250 TT.

On the other hand, if they consdier you a foreigner, to get permission/license validation, etc., almost everywhere will require 100 on type.
