Three contract workers have died at a Tata Electronics plant producing components for Apple iPhones in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the latest incident involving the US tech giant’s supply chain in its most important manufacturing hub outside China. The deaths occurred at a site in Hosur, in the Krishnagiri district, late on Monday. The workers were among a group assigned to clean an effluent treatment plant (ETP) at a facility in Hosur, senior district official Dinesh Kumar told The New Indian Express. Kumar said the deaths occurred when the workers inhaled gas while inspecting an external nano-filtration tank. The three workers were taken to a private hospital, where doctors declared them dead on arrival, TNIE cited Kumar as saying.
