A significant fire broke out on the top floor of a commercial building in Gurugram on Monday, sending plumes of smoke visible across the city skyline and triggering a massive emergency response.
Emergency Response and Evacuation
The blaze erupted on November 10, 2025, at approximately 3:30 PM on the 15th floor of Tower A at IndiaBull Centrum Park, located in Gurugram's Sector 61. The building houses multiple corporate offices and commercial establishments.
Fire department officials confirmed they received the emergency call at 3:35 PM and immediately dispatched fire tenders to the location. Eight fire tenders were deployed to combat the flames that had engulfed the top level of the high-rise structure.
Authorities successfully evacuated all occupants from the affected tower. Preliminary reports indicate that no casualties or serious injuries have been reported, though several people were treated for minor smoke inhalation at the scene.
Firefighting Operations and Challenges
Firefighters faced significant challenges due to the height of the building and the intensity of the blaze. The flames had spread rapidly across the 15th floor, making access difficult for emergency crews.
Witnesses reported seeing thick black smoke billowing from the top of the tower, visible from several kilometers away. The incident caused traffic disruptions in the surrounding areas as emergency vehicles blocked roads to access the building.
Fire department officials stated that their primary focus was containing the fire to prevent it from spreading to adjacent floors. The operation involved both internal firefighting and external water spraying using hydraulic platforms.
Investigation and Safety Measures
While the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, preliminary assessments suggest it may have originated from an electrical short circuit. A thorough investigation has been launched to determine the precise cause and origin of the blaze.
Building management and local authorities have initiated safety inspections of the entire complex. The incident has raised concerns about fire safety compliance in commercial high-rises across Gurugram, particularly regarding electrical systems and emergency evacuation protocols.
Officials have emphasized that all commercial buildings must maintain functional fire safety equipment and conduct regular drills. The Gurugram administration has announced it will review fire safety measures in major commercial complexes throughout the city.
The affected tower will remain closed until structural safety assessments are completed and necessary repairs are made. Companies operating from the building have been advised to make alternative arrangements for their operations.
