New Delhi: At least 43 people have died in a factory fire in India's capital New Delhi, with the toll expected to rise, police announced.

The blaze broke out in the early hours in the city's old quarter, whose narrow and congested lanes are lined with many small manufacturing and storage units.

A senior Delhi police official said eight or nine people were carried out later, bringing the overall number rescued to at least 58. The building was filled with school bags and packing material, fire officials said, but cautioned that they were still unsure about the cause of the blaze. "Most who've died were sleeping when the fire broke out and died due to asphyxiation," Sadar Bazar's assistant commissioner of police told AFP.
