A Spicejet Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration VT-MXE performing flight SG-467 from Mumbai to Kolkata (India), was climbing through FL330 out of Mumbai when the crew reported engine (LEAP) problems, hydraulic as well as oil filter bypass problems, and decided to shut the engine down and to return to Mumbai. The aircraft landed safely back on Mumbai's runway 27 about 30 minutes after stopping the climb.

The airline reported the aircraft returned due to a technical fault.

India's DGCA have opened an investigation into the occurrence asking Boeing and CFM to assist in the investigation.
