Tata Airlines to Compensate Rs 53.12 Crore for Ahmedabad Crash Damages

Gujarat Health Minister Praful Pansheriya announced Tata Airlines will pay Rs 53.12 crore for damages from the 2025 Ahmedabad plane crash. The compensation aids rebuilding efforts at New Mental Campus, where modern facilities for 236 PG doctors, including a new hostel and canteen, will be developed.

Gujarat's Health Minister, Praful Pansheriya, confirmed that Tata Airlines will compensate Rs 53.12 crore to the Health Department for the damage caused to the 'Atulyam 1 to 4' blocks during the Ahmedabad plane crash incident, as per a recent press release.

In the aftermath of the tragic plane crash on June 12, 2025, in Meghani Nagar, significant damage was inflicted on the department-owned 'Atulyam' hostel blocks, affecting 92 student residents. Post-accident, a structural audit deemed the buildings unsafe, necessitating demolition.

Under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel's guidance, the state plans to construct a new, modern hostel complex to minimize disruption for students. The facility, set to accommodate 236 super-speciality PG doctors, will include state-of-the-art amenities and safety provisions.
