There was no confirmation from the district administration of reports that the fire was apparently caused by a rupture in the 36-inch Uran-Mumbai gas pipeline.
Production at India's largest gas fields Bassein and Panna/Mukta and Tapti in Mumbai offshore has been stopped, following flooding of Oil and Natural Gas Corp's processing plant at Hazira in Gujarat.
"There is no change in situation. It may take a couple of days for the water to recede and restart of the facility," an ONGC official said.\n\n
The blaze erupted around 7 am in the gas processing plant of the ONGC located in Uran area of neighbouring Navi Mumbai, an official said.
