Tata's Apple iPhone factory in Tamil Nadu may have to shut down over farmland water contamination; pollution body seeks explanation

An Indian pollution regulator has accused Tata Electronics, a key supplier for Apple's iPhones, of contaminating groundwater near its Hosur factory. The regulator found wastewater discharge from the plant polluted farmland wells. Tata faces a potential shutdown unless it provides a satisfactory explanation. This adds to recent issues faced by Apple's Indian supply chain.
