More than 290 people were killed after an Air India flight bound for London with 242 people on board crashed into a residential area shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad in the western Indian state of Gujarat on Thursday, according to local police.
Police said one surviving passenger from the plane had been rescued.
"The police found one survivor in seat 11A. The survivor is under treatment. Cannot say anything about the number of deaths yet. The death toll may increase as the flight crashed in a residential area," Ahmedabad Police Commissioner G.S. Malik was quoted as saying by local media.
The Boeing 787-8 aircraft took off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad at 13:38 local time with 230 passengers, two pilots and 10 crew members aboard, Air India said.
The airline said 169 Indians, 53 Britons, one Canadian and seven Portuguese nationals were among those on the flight.
Local media reports said earlier that the plane crashed into a doctors' hostel in a residential area near the airport, with as many as 200 people believed to have been inside at the time.

Protesters filled Mexico City's Paseo de la Reforma on Saturday, rallying in solidarity with Venezuela and denouncing U.S. influence in Latin America.
The United States launched a large-scale military operation against Venezuela in the early hours of Jan 3, taking by force Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
Holding numerous flags and banners while chanting slogans intermittently, a huge crowd of protesters criticized U.S. military actions against Venezuela and the unlawful control over President Maduro and his spouse, calling for respect for national sovereignty and regional peace.
"We oppose the U.S. intervention and hegemony towards the countries in Latin America. The United States has flagrantly trampled on international law, bombed Caracas and kidnapped the Maduro couple. The U.S. interventionism has become extremely blatant. We must firmly oppose and be highly vigilant, because this is not only related to a certain country, but also to all countries," said a protester.
"We demand that the United States stop interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs. The country must immediately cease its exploitation and plundering of the countries in Latin America," said another protester.
