Air India plane crash: At $120 million+, insurance claim to be costliest for Indian aviation
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The catastrophic crash of an Air India flight in Ahmedabad on Thursday is likely to trigger the costliest aviation insurance claim involving an Indian airline, with claims estimated to exceed $120 million, people familiar with the matter the estimated payout, the hull loss—the insured value of the aircraft— alone could be around $80 million, while passenger liability compensation could add between $30-50 total liability payout could be significantly higher, with one estimate pegging potential passenger-related claims at over $100 million, given the presence of several high-networth individuals AIG was the lead insurer and others including New India Assurance had written part of the policy. The aircraft was covered under a global reinsurance programme, placed in the London market, whereby most of the risk is ceded to international insurers like Tata AIG, New India Assurance, National Insurance, United India, Oriental and ICICI Lombard General have retained less than 10% of the risk, market participants said. State-owned reinsurer GIC Re has 5% on the reinsurance treaty and will see a claim of about $4.1 million, they said.'Today's incident… is expected to trigger claims under both the hull and liability sections due to the total loss of the aircraft and the fatalities. Such losses generally affect multiple reinsurers, as airline fleet policies are often placed on a facultative basis involving several participants. Since liability claims take time to quantify, it is currently difficult to assess the impact on future pricing," said Ramaswamy Narayanan, CMD of GIC Re.'This would be one of the biggestever claims involving an Indian airline,' said Sourav Biswas, aviation business head at Alliance Insurance Indian carriers have witnessed few major accidents. In 2010, a Boeing 737 operating from Dubai crashed on landing at Mangalore, killing 158. Another crash at Kozhikode in 2020 claimed 21 these two incidents led to insurance payouts of about $60–70 million, including hull and liability, insurance industry insiders said. A Tata AIG spokesperson said as the lead insurer for Air India, the company is closely monitoring the situation. Air India's liability limit is up to $1.5 billion, an inurance executive aware of the subject said. There could be around $250,000 per passenger potential liability for bodily injury or bodily injury leading to death, added the person who did not want to be named. The crash is likely to harden reinsurance rates across the board. Aviation insurance is a global pool, and any large loss in one part of the world impacts pricing everywhere.'This will affect renewals next year,' a senior reinsurance executive said.'Aviation rates may go up globally, and more so in markets like India where loss ratios have otherwise been benign.' Tata Group-owned Air India's aviation insurance policy is typically renewed on April 1 each year, with a panel of insurers led by global brokers in New India Assurance had traditionally led the placement for the national carrier, Tata AIG is understood to have taken over that role since the airline's privatisation. New India and other Indian insurers now hold supporting roles, industry executives said.

Indian inventors set patent records
Bengaluru: Anil Agiwal, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, rose as one of India's prominent inventors, filing an impressive 2,010 patents in the country. This milestone was highlighted through a GreyB research study, a consultancy known for its expertise in innovation intelligence, which ranked him among the Top 50 Indian inventors driving patent filings in India. Agiwal's work centres on breakthroughs in cellular communication, notably in 4G, 5G, and 5G Advanced radio access technologies. Agiwal, associated with Samsung Research America, is noted not only for his 2,010 Indian patents but also for holding 471 US patents. His journey began with a campus placement at Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore following his graduation from IIT Kharagpur in 2002. GreyB's assessment considered patents published between 2016 and 2023 within each inventor's portfolio. Kapil Bhattad, an IIT Madras graduate who now serves as senior director of engineering at Qualcomm in Bangalore, holds 1,647 patents. He completed a BTech in electrical engineering from IIT Madras in 2002 and went on to receive a PhD from Texas A&M University. Jaidev Rajnikant Shroff, Chairman and Group CEO of UPL, and Vikram Rajnikant Shroff, a director in the company, ranked third and fourth with 1,195 and 998 patents, respectively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Venkateswarlu Jasti, chairman and managing director of Suven Life Sciences, took the fifth ranking with 788 patents. The GreyB listing aims to spotlight the notable achievements of Indian inventors by analysing the Top 50 in the country. Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, a microelectronics industry group, said: "Semiconductor companies honour and reward employees for their patents, recognising this as the lifeblood of innovation. Employee inventors are typically rewarded with a combination of financial incentives and recognition. These may include cash bonuses, plaques, and public acknowledgment, often tied to milestones in the patent process, like application filing or patent issuance. Early in my career at AT&T Bell Labs, my patents helped me advance my career. I put a premium on rewarding my employees for their patents at every stop in my career." According to Satya Gupta, president of the VLSI Society of India, an increase in the number of patents often leads to a drop in quality. "Out of 1,000 patents filed globally, only 10 may be impactful. This is the story not just with Indian companies but also multinationals. They want to accumulate patents," he said. Gupta also highlighted that patents are generally registered to company names, not individual employees, due to standard intellectual property clauses in employment agreements that assign ownership of such creations to the employer. GreyB's findings showed that inventors and researchers working at Qualcomm, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and several Asian firms including Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi, made the largest number of patent submissions in India. This underscores India's growing importance as a market for global technology firms. In 2025, 3,520 patents were approved from 9,000 applications. Indian inventors received over 1 lakh patents in 2024. IESA president Ashok Chandak noted that both Indian and global technology companies have started viewing intellectual property as a vital strategic resource. They use it to stand apart in the market, accrue economic benefits, create enduring business models, attract investors, raise company evaluations, and strengthen their positions in international negotiations.
