Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the loss of lives in the landslide as "saddening".
Home Minister Rajnath Singh is travelling to Pune on Thursday to assess the situation.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan told the Press Trust of India news agency that more than 160 people were believed to be trapped in 44 houses buried under the rubble.
Rescue workers in western India are working to locate survivors of a landslide that has claimed at least 23 lives and buried up to 200 people. Ten people have been rescued from under the wreckage in Malin Village, near the city of Pune in Maharashtra state.
Teams worked through the night but rain was hampering efforts to search for scores of people presumed trapped under the mud and debris. The landslide hit the village early on Wednesday while people were sleeping.
Rescue operations were disrupted on Thursday morning after "very heavy rainfall" in the area, Tripti Parule, a spokesperson for India’s National Disaster Response Force said.
