The explosions sparked a massive inferno that blazed through the city's Cianjhen district, with witnesses reporting bodies lying on the streets.
Authorities are warning the death toll is expected to rise.
"We will make further arrangements and inspections to avoid this kind of disaster from occurring again," President Ma Ying-jeou said in comments shown on local television.
The explosions, believed to have been triggered by gas leaks, were powerful enough to leave the area battered, smashing cars and ripping open paved roads.
