The PA news agency said Ramesh was taking civil action following the crash, with his legal team saying: “We will be examining every detail of the air accident investigations”.
Paul McClorry, from Hudgell Solicitors, said civil claims were being considered against a number of potential defendants.
In a statement he said there had been “significant dialogue” between the law firm and legal representatives for Air India, who have been “very cooperative”.
“We are awaiting the findings of the investigations, and we should finally start to see some clarity as to how and why this awful disaster happened, and, crucially, how it could have been avoided,” he said.
“Lessons clearly must be learnt, and for that to happen there needs to be complete transparency and a willingness to accept responsibility.”
A spokesperson for Air India said it could not discuss the specifics of any individual case but said representatives from Air India and the Tata Group met Ramesh and had a “constructive” engagement.
“The discussions provided insight into Mr Ramesh’s needs and concerns, enabling a clearer understanding of how best to support him,” they said.
“We remain in close contact with Mr Ramesh and his representatives and are actively working to ensure that appropriate support continues to be extended to him.”
The Foreign Office has been approached for comment.
