Fire breaks out at Tata Electronics factory in India, which produces Apple’s iPhone components: Production halted

Tata Electronics is one of India’s largest iPhone parts manufacturers. The company competes with Foxconn and has an important place in India’s growing technology manufacturing sector.

It is not possible to enter the area where the fire broke out for the time being and the authorities stated that damage assessment will be made after a day-long cooling work. The relevant security services have launched a comprehensive investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire.

Tata Electronics officials announced that they have taken all necessary measures to ensure the safety of their employees following the fire and will take the necessary steps to prevent similar incidents. The full impact of the fire on the factory’s operations will become clear after the damage assessment.
