HYDERABAD: The accident at the factory of Sigachi Industries at Pashamylaram in Sangareddy was not caused by a reactor blast but could have been triggered by a dust explosion in the dryer section, a top official of the Hyderabad-based company said on Wednesday.

"As we await the results of the investigation, we would like to clarify that the accident was not caused by a reactor explosion at the plant...," Sigachi said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday morning.

However, while interacting with mediapersons at the accident site later in the evening, Sigachi Industries managing director & CEO Amit Raj Sinha said: "It (accident) has nothing to do with any reactor blast. We don't use any solvents here. I believe a dust explosion took place in the dryer section, though the investigation is still on."
