The DGCA ordered reinspections after an uncommanded Ram Air Turbine deployment on an Air India 787‑8, creating immediate regulatory oversight of the operator's 787 fleet.
Regulators are focusing checks on aircraft that recently had power‑distribution components replaced, overlapping with Air India's ongoing avionics retrofit programme and maintenance changes.
The DGCA has sought answers from Boeing amid broader scrutiny of Air India's 787s, including prior precautionary fuel‑system inspections and an ongoing black‑box analysis following a June crash.
