A fire ripped through a warehouse inside a factory owned by Chinese smartphone maker Oppo on the outskirts of Delhi today, a senior police official said.
Ambulances and 19 fire trucks were flown to Oppo’s plant in Greater Noida after the fire broke out overnight, police officer Vishal Pandey told Reuters.
No one was killed or injured in the fire, the cause of which has not yet been determined, Pandey said, adding that the flames had largely been extinguished.
The extent of the damage is unknown, but the fire may cause further problems for Oppo, which was recently forced to import some of the smartphones manufactured at the site, as the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain problems affected the production of the facility.
Oppo did not respond to a request for comment. Oppo, owned by BBK Electronics Corporation, also assembles smartphones from the Realme and OnePlus brands at this factory.
