A massive fire broke out late on Thursday night at a manufacturing unit in the Rabale MIDC industrial area of Navi Mumbai, gutting large portions of the facility and causing extensive property damage.

According to officials, the blaze erupted around 2 am at Jel Pharmaceuticals, located on Plot No R/N 952 in the Rabale MIDC zone. The company is said to be involved in the production of wax-based products, which may have intensified the flames.
