Do Indian citizens require a visa to travel to Oman?
score:0
In August 2022, I had a 24 hour layover in Oman. I was granted a visa-on-arrival (for free) and no questions were asked. It appeared that the immigration was quite familiar with the procedure and the process was very smooth.

According to the Omani Foreign Ministry, you are exempted from visa requirements for touristic entry.
The countries and regions whose nationals are exempt from entry visas to the Sultanate for a period of 14 days, subject to certain requirements, are listed below.

Now, it requires a hotel booking :
The exemption is subject to certain requirements including a prior and confirmed hotel booking, health insurance, and a return ticket.
so it might not be practical in your case (depending on the layover timing, you might not even be able to book a hotel room (I don't know if you can book day hotel stays in Oman))
If you fulfill those requirements, you're likely good to go

The Omani government visa webpage does not address the basic question of whether an Indian citizen needs a visa (or transit visa) to enter Oman. Other Omani government pages do mention tourist visas and transit visas for tourists on their way to other destinations. All in all, the official answer is unclear.
On the other hand, this secondary source states that Indian citizens are visa-exempt and may enter Oman freely.
I would contact the Omani government authorities directly and ask. Multiple contact methods are presented on many of the Omani government pages.
