Nagpur Pharma Unit Blast Kills 1, Injures 6: Cause Under Investigation

Nagpur: A devastating explosion struck the Ankit Pulps and Boards Pvt Ltd pharmaceutical plant in Bhilgaon, Nagpur district, on Tuesday morning, resulting in one fatality and injuries to six others. The blast, which occurred around 11 am inside a glass line reactor, sent shockwaves through the area, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.

All the injured individuals were rushed to a hospital in Kamptee town, with one reported to be in critical condition.

The factory specializes in the production of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) — a commonly used excipient in the pharmaceutical and food industries. According to its official website, Ankit Pulps focuses on manufacturing high-grade pharmaceutical binders and fillers used across various therapeutic segments.

Authorities have launched a detailed investigation to determine the exact cause of the blast. Preliminary assessments suggest a malfunction in the reactor system, though officials have not ruled out other possibilities.
