In a compassionate move, the Tata Group has pledged ₹1 crore in financial support to the families of those who lost their lives in the recent Air India Express plane crash. The tragic incident, which occurred during a repatriation flight, has deeply shaken the nation, prompting swift response and assistance from the airline’s parent company.
According to the statement released, each family affected by the crash will receive ₹1 crore as part of the group’s commitment to stand by them during this painful period. The Tata Group emphasized that this support is separate from the government-announced compensations and is aimed at helping families rebuild their lives.
The crash took place at Kozhikode airport, where the aircraft overshot the runway amid heavy rains and broke into two pieces, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. The aircraft was part of the Vande Bharat Mission and was carrying stranded Indian citizens from abroad.
This move by Tata Group has been widely praised as a humane and responsible gesture, reflecting the company’s longstanding values of empathy and social responsibility.
