Tata Electronics suspends production after fire breaks out at iPhone unit in Tamil Nadu

Production will remain suspended indefinitely at a Tata Electronics plant in southern India that makes Apple iPhone components after a fire at the weekend, officials said on Monday as they acted to prevent further damage from the blaze.

“We have stationed fire engines at the plant as there are chances of a follow-up fire incident or smoke coming out when the sheds that had fallen during the accident are removed,” M. Velu, a district fire officer, told Reuters.
