A major fire broke out at a warehouse storing equipment for NTPC’s 70 MW under-construction solar power project in Bhatiwada village, Dahod, Gujarat, late Monday night. According to officials, the blaze started around 9:30 pm and continued through the night, prompting an extensive firefighting operation.

Thankfully, there were no casualties. Deputy Superintendent of Police Jagdish Bhandari confirmed that all seven to eight workers and four security personnel present at the site were safely evacuated. However, the warehouse suffered extensive damage, with almost everything inside destroyed by the fire.

Firefighting teams from Dahod, Godhra, Jhalod, and Chhota Udepur responded promptly, but strong winds made the operation challenging. A fire officer noted that they received the emergency call at 9:35 pm, and multiple fire tenders were immediately dispatched.

An NTPC employee shared that they first noticed the fire at 9:15 pm and quickly alerted emergency services. Despite rapid response, the blaze intensified quickly due to high wind speeds. All stored materials meant for the solar plant were reportedly lost, resulting in significant damage.
