Tata iPhone parts plant faces shutdown after regulator says wastewater polluted farmland
Reuters reports India's Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board warned Tata Electronics to shut its Hosur iPhone component plant unless it explains wastewater that seeped into a rainwater pond and contaminated nearby farm wells. The plant is a key node in Apple’s shift away from China, so the dispute highlights supply‑chain ESG risks and could disrupt iPhone output in South Asia.
