No, it crashed just after takeoff. About 1 mile southwest of the end of runway 23.
They never took gear up, flaps were in, and they did make a mayday call.

Since there's no visible evidence of engine damage, and even on a single engine they should be able to climb out (Ahmedabad is hot but not high), my initial suspicion would be on the electrical system; the 787 uses electro-hydraulic controls.
In profile, the flight looks a lot like 1549 (lose something you need, crash cuz not enuf altitude to do anything about it). But there's no engine smoke. Maybe there's more info in the mayday but I haven't seen a transcript of it yet.
