Three contract workers died on Monday at a factory owned by Indian Apple supplier Tata Electronics, reports Reuters. The facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, manufactures components for the iPhone.
The workers were performing maintenance at a wastewater treatment plant at the Tata facility when they inhaled gas while inspecting a nano-filtration tank. The plant was operated by Nalco Water, and the workers were employed by a subcontractor.
Apple, Tata Electronics, and state officials will look into the incident, with Apple sending a “team” to assist in the investigation.
The incident did not affect iPhone production because the facility was closed for Diwali.
Back in 2024, the same facility had a fire in a chemical storage area, with production disrupted for several days. Tata Electronics was also the target of a cyberattack earlier this year, with hackers stealing confidential Apple files.
