Apple taps Tata to handle iPhone, MacBook repairs in India

Apple has brought in the Tata Group to handle repairs for iPhones and MacBook devices in its fast-growing Indian market, signalling the Indian conglomerate’s deepening role in the US tech giant’s supply chain, two people familiar with the matter said.

As Apple looks beyond China for manufacturing, Tata has fast emerged as its key supplier, already assembling iPhones for local and foreign markets at three facilities in southern India, with one of them also making some iPhone components.
