iPhone Maker Pegatron Halts Production After Fire Breaks Out At Plant Near Chennai: Report
Apple iPhone maker and contract manufacturer Pegatron has temporarily halted assembly of devices at its Chennai factory due to a fire incident. The fire broke out on Sunday night and Pegatron has called off all shifts for the day at the factory. The company has not informed assembly workers whether the facility will function on Tuesday. Pegatron stated that the incident was a spark incident at the production unit, which is currently under control and does not have significant financial or operational impact. The Pegatron unit has an assembly capacity of about 26,000 iPhones per day, but it has been producing about 8,000-12,000 iPhones per day in recent months. There are no injuries, casualties, or damage to other assets as a result of the incident. Apple is said to be expanding its market share in India's smartphone sales, particularly driven by the super-premium iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. According to Counterpoint, Apple's share of smartphone sales in India from July to December will rise to 7%, an increase from the 5% recorded in the first half of 2023.
