Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision, Trump’s tariff deadline
Investing.com -- Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has engaged Tata Group to manage repairs for its iPhones and MacBook devices in the rapidly expanding Indian market, according to a Reuters report on Thursday. This move indicates a deepening involvement of the Indian conglomerate in the supply chain of the U.S. tech behemoth.
Apple, which is looking for manufacturing opportunities outside China, has picked Tata as a key supplier. The Indian group already assembles iPhones for both local and foreign markets at three facilities in southern India. One of these facilities also produces some iPhone components.
In an expansion of their partnership, Tata is now taking over the repair mandate from ICT Service Management Solutions, an Indian unit of Taiwan’s Wistron. The report revealed that Tata will handle after-sales repairs from its iPhone assembly campus in Karnataka.
The transition from ICT to Tata is reportedly currently in progress.
