Tata Electronics is reportedly planning to increase the production of enclosures for Apple’s iPhones at its Hosur facility.
“Tata Electronics is looking to double its existing capacity of around 50,000 enclosures,” a source told ET.
Sources also told the publication that the company aims to double its capacity ahead of Apple’s September product launches.
Inc42 has reached out to Tata Electronics for comments on the development. The story will be updated based on the response.
The electronics manufacturer has been making enclosures for Apple at its Hosur facility and has been rapidly expanding operations, setting up two new units and building dormitories for workers.
In September last year, Tata Sons’ chairman N Chandrasekaran said that its modern electronics factory in Hosur, Krishnagiri employs 20,000 people, and over 15,000 of them are women. In another year, the company was eyeing to operate with 40,000 employees active in the facility.
To note, Tata Electronics’ iPhone manufacturing plant in Hosur suffered a major fire accident, temporarily disrupting the operations in September last year. Following which, the company slowly resumed operations a month later.
As per the report, Tata Electronics achieved a capacity of about 50,000 enclosures before the incident of the fire, while sources also said, “But the capacity is at pre-fire levels now.”
