Fire Halts Production at Tata's Indian iPhone Component Plant

The blaze has indefinitely suspended operations, impacting Apple's supply chain amid its shift from China.

A fire broke out early Saturday at Tata Electronics' facility in Hosur, India, causing the roof to collapse and creating a chemical hazard.
The plant, which produces back panels and other components for iPhones, has halted production indefinitely.
Ten workers received medical treatment, with two hospitalized, but no fatalities were reported.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, which started in the unit where mobile phone accessories are painted.
The incident disrupts Apple's strategy to diversify its supply chain and increase iPhone production in India, where 14% of iPhones are currently made.
