Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.

Because you are travelling from India (IN) to Malawi (MW) (a polio-risk country), India (IN) requires all travellers to have a dose of polio vaccine (OPV), given at least 4 weeks before departure, regardless of age or past vaccination. Get the dose and carry the International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP); without it you may be given the vaccine at the airport before you are allowed to travel.
Your India (IN) passport requires an e-Visa for Malawi. e-Visas need an online application, may require supporting documents (photos, itinerary, hotel bookings), and have processing windows from same-day to two weeks.
