A fire broke out at Steel Authority of India (SAI)'s Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) in Chhattisgarh's Durg district Friday.
However, no casualty was reported, the BSP said in a statement.
"A fire was reported at tar distillation unit in the Coke Ovens and Coal Chemicals (CO&CC) Department at 8.30 am," it said.
Fire tenders were rushed to the site and the blaze was brought under control by some 50 firemen and officers of the Plant's Fire Services Department by 11.30 am, it said.
A fire tender from NSPCL and two fire tenders each from Durg and Raipur municipal corporations also reached the spot.
There was no disruption of normal operations, the statement added.
A committee headed by Executive Director (Materials Management) will probe the cause of the fire, it said.
