Overview

• The blaze erupted around 3 pm at ONGC’s Uran oil and gas processing facility near Navi Mumbai and was put out by ONGC’s fire brigade in about two hours.
• Officials reported no casualties, and evacuations of plant personnel and nearby residents were carried out as a precaution during a multi-agency response.
• Mahanagar Gas Limited said reduced supply to its Wadala City Gate Station could lower pipeline pressure, affecting CNG station operations across Mumbai.
• Domestic piped natural gas supply is being maintained on priority, and industrial and commercial users have been advised to switch to alternative fuels temporarily.
• The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and ONGC said supplies will normalise once its operations are fully restored.
