With the main building affected by the fire, rescuers placed ladders against adjoining buildings to help people escape. Local residents also joined the evacuation effort, assisting those trying to get out of the premises.

Singhal said the fire had been brought under control, but a search operation was continuing inside the building to rule out further casualties.

Short circuit suspected as the cause of Delhi showroom fire

South Delhi District Magistrate Lakshay Singhal said the administration received information about the fire at around 3.45 pm at a Kia showroom opposite Saket Metro Station. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Delhi Police and Fire Department were immediately alerted, and fire tenders were rushed to the spot.

Singhal said 12 to 15 people had been rescued, including those evacuated from adjoining buildings with the help of ladders. Seven people sustained injuries, with four admitted to Max Hospital and three to Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital.

He said the fire had been extinguished and brought under control, and no deaths had been reported so far. However, officials were continuing to search the entire building to ensure that nobody remained trapped inside.

Singhal added that a short circuit was suspected to have caused the fire, although the cause had not yet been conclusively established.

Authorities are examining the premises as part of the ongoing search and assessment. Officials are also checking whether anyone else was inside the building when the fire broke out.

The final extent of the damage to the showroom and the vehicles parked inside is yet to be determined. Further details are expected after the search operation and preliminary assessment are completed.

Traffic affected as crowds gather near showroom

The fire also attracted a large crowd, with several passersby stopping to record the incident on their mobile phones.

The gathering led to congestion on the adjoining road, creating difficulties for emergency vehicles trying to reach the showroom. Police personnel intervened to disperse onlookers and clear the route for rescue and firefighting teams.

Teams from the Delhi Fire Services, Delhi Police, revenue department, Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), ambulance services and Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS) participated in the operation.
