Tata takes control of Pegatron's sole iPhone plant in India


India's Tata Electronics is reportedly buying a 60 percent stake in Taiwan-based Pegatron's only India iPhone facility, strengthening Tata's position as Apple's main supplier partner in the country.

Tata previously bought out a Wistron iPhone assembly facility in the southern state of Karnataka. Apple has been expanding production facilities outside of China and Taiwan where possible, due to increasing regional tensions. The conglomerate's existing facility there — again formerly owned by Pegatron — suffered a damaging fire in October 2024, and remains closed indefinitely until remediation is complete.
