Investigators found that the emergency system activated when the flight went down. Both engines stopped working, which automatically turned on the Ram Air Turbine (RAT). RAT helps the plane to provide enough electricity to function in the air. 

Based on that, DGCA gave instructions to the Air India Officials to check the whole Boeing Dreamliner fleet. And if there are any issues, report immediately.
