In another incident, an oil company was gutted in a blaze that broke out in Angaon near Bhiwandi in Thane district.
However, no casualty was reported in the mishap as the workers were not present there because of Sunday.
According to the Chief Fire Officer, around fifty cattle were shifted to safer places from the factory premises.
The cause of fire is being probed.
A spokesman of a cow shelter located adjacent to the factory said around 1000 cows in the facility are safe.
At least four fire engines are still trying to put out the flames.
