After Hosur fire, stockpiles steady iPhone production
Business Standard|October 02, 2024
The fire on Sunday at the Tata Electronics factory complex in Hosur, which is set to play a key role in Apple Inc's plans for a major ramp-up in iPhone production, is not expected to impact iPhone assembly, especially with the peak domestic festival sales season approaching and the iPhone 16 series having become available in India from September 20.

After Hosur fire, stockpiles steady iPhone production

According to sources, there is enough inventory of enclosures already at the iPhone assembly plants of Foxconn in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, Wistron (recently acquired by Tata) near Bengaluru, and Pegatron near Chennai. As a result, there is no risk of halting iPhone assembly. Tata Electronics only supplies a portion of the total enclosures required by Apple vendors; the rest are still imported.

Apple has a contingency plan in place to source more from established suppliers if necessary. Although Tata has been exporting enclosures to China, the volumes have been relatively small.
