The fire brigade received information around 11.15pm. A team led by Sub-Inspector Santosh Dubey from the Moti Tabela fire station was dispatched with two fire tenders to douse the flames.
Controlling the blaze proved difficult due to the nature of the raw materials inside. Firefighters initially attempted to douse the flames from the ground, but the fire spread through stored dust and feed.
It took around five hours of effort to fully extinguish the fire by 4am on Tuesday, after using around 45,000 litres of water.
Khushbu Agrawal, a resident of Bicholi Hapsi, owns the factory. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. However, a short circuit is suspected to have triggered the blaze.
