Massive fire destroys NTPC solar plant godown in Gujarat, no casualties reported

A major fire broke out at a godown storing equipment for an under-construction 70 MW solar power plant of NTPC, a central public sector undertaking, in Gujarat’s Dahod district late on Monday night. Firefighting operations continued through the night and were brought under control by Tuesday morning, officials confirmed. The incident occurred at around 9.30 pm in Bhatiwada village. According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Jagdish Bhandari, the blaze resulted in extensive damage, with nearly the entire godown destroyed. However, there were no casualties reported...The fire service responded swiftly, with firefighting units from Dahod, Godhra, Jhalod, and Chhota Udepur deployed to the site. A fire officer noted that strong winds posed significant challenges in containing the flames.

“The control room received the alert at around 9.35 pm, and multiple fire tenders were dispatched immediately. The wind made the operation more difficult, but the situation was largely under control by Tuesday morning,” the officer stated.

An NTPC employee on-site said the fire had completely destroyed the stored materials, resulting in substantial financial losses.
