The aircraft had taken off from Delhi. The smoke was detected when the plane was at a height of 5,000 feet. The company has issued a statement.
"A SpiceJet aircraft operating from Delhi to Jabalpur returned safely to the Delhi airport today morning after the crew noticed smoke in the cabin while passing 5000ft; passengers safely disembarked," it said.
Last month, a Delhi-bound SpiceJet aircraft made an emergency landing after one of its two engines caught fire.
According to SpiceJet, the cockpit crew suspected that a bird hit engine number one while take off. The pilots then shut down the affected engine and returned to Patna. At least three blades of the fan were damaged due to the bird hit.
All 185 passengers had been evacuated.
