Ashok Gupta died when fire erupted in the slum cluster in south Delhi's Begumpur area in Malviya Nagar.
Another person, named Makkhan Singh, aged 35, was injured in the fire, the police official said.
"We received a call at about 2.20 a.m. and rushed more than 20 fire tenders to the spot. It took us almost four hours to douse the blaze," a fire brigade officer said, adding that an electric short-circuit could be a possible reason for the fire.
