On Wednesday, 12 February 2025, a fire spread through a chemical company in the third phase of the Vapi industrial estate and soon engulfed the whole unit. Teams from the Vapi corporation, the notified area, GIDC, Daman and Silvassa fought it for about three to four hours. Workers got out in time and no casualty was reported.
On a Tuesday in early December 2023 (reported on 6 December), two workers were moving a chemical container on a trolley in the third phase when it fell and the spill gave off toxic gas. Both died of asphyxiation in hospital and a third worker was still under treatment. The police recorded it as an accidental death.
Late on a Saturday night in March 2026 (reported on 30 March), a fire that began in one scrap godown spread to more than 35 warehouses stacked with plastics and chemicals. Fire teams from Vapi, GIDC, the notified area, Daman and Silvassa came, nearby residents were moved out as a precaution, and nobody was hurt. The cause was under investigation.
Vapi recorded 185 mm of rain in the 24 hours to 6 am on 22 July 2026, and 61 mm more by noon, while 284 roads were closed across Valsad district. Heavy rain like this can cut roads and slow help, which matters in an industrial belt.
