No injuries were reported.

Sixteen fire engines battled the blaze and firefighters evacuated people from the building in the city's Bandra area using hydraulic platforms, fire official Rohan More said.

The building houses the offices of a state-run telephone company.

All of the 89 escaped without injuries, More said, adding that he believed everyone had been rescued but firefighters were combing through the building to make sure.

The firefighters restricted the blaze and smoke to the third and fourth floors, where it started. The cause of Monday's fire was not immediately known.

Television images showed people breaking window panes and waving to firefighters to evacuate them.
