The auto component manufacturer stated that there were no human casualties resulting from the incident. The company also mentioned that although production was temporarily disrupted for a short period, it was restored once the fire was controlled.

The company is currently investigating the cause of the fire and assessing the actual losses incurred. They confirmed that there is sufficient insurance coverage for the affected plant and that the insurance company has already been informed.

Earlier in the day, there was confusion as videos shared on social media suggested that the fire had broken out at the Maruti Suzuki factory, due to a hoarding with Maruti Suzuki's name being visible in the footage. However, a spokesperson for Maruti Suzuki later clarified that no fire incident had occurred at their plant.
