Amid the ongoing Monsoon Session in Parliament, Civil Aviation Minister Naidu, while answering a question on the probe into the AI-171 crash, said that the decoding of the black box happened in India for the first time on Monday. 

While addressing the Rajya Sabha, Union Minister Naidu stated that "the first set of the probe is done, and a preliminary report is out. Earlier, whenever the black box had slight damage, the black box used to be sent to the manufacturer for decoding. For the first time, the decoding of the black box has happened in India," as cited by news agency ANI. 

Lauding the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) investigating the Ahmedabad plane crash, Naidu said that the agency is "unbiased".
