Extensive damage from a fire at Tata Group's Apple iPhone component plant in southern India is expected to hamper production. This disruption comes ahead of a crucial festive season sales surge for Apple.
Industry observers and sources indicate that Apple's suppliers may be forced to arrange critical parts from China or other regions to mitigate the impact. This shift could introduce logistical complexities and potential cost increases.
The incident underscores the challenges in diversifying global supply chains and the immediate need for contingency plans to maintain product availability during peak demand periods.
