The sources did not provide further details on the financial terms of the agreement. Tata refused to comment, and neither Apple nor Pegatron responded to Reuters&#8217; inquiries on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April, Reuters was the first to report that Pegatron, with Apple&#8217;s support, was in advanced discussions to sell its sole iPhone manufacturing plant in India to Tata. This move is part of the Taiwanese company&#8217;s broader strategy to scale back its Apple operations. The deal comes as Apple looks to reduce its reliance on China and diversify its supply chain amid growing geopolitical tensions between Beijing and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tata to Strengthen iPhone Manufacturing with Pegatron Plant Acquisition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;For Tata, one of India\u2019s largest conglomerates, acquiring the Pegatron plant in Chennai will boost its iPhone manufacturing capabilities and position it to compete more effectively with Foxconn, the other major iPhone contract manufacturer operating in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to one source, the deal\u2019s closure was internally communicated at the Chennai plant on Friday. The two companies are expected to soon apply for approval from the Competition Commission of India (CCI), according to the second source. Tata, which took over an iPhone assembly plant in Karnataka from Wistron last year, is also constructing another facility in Tamil Nadu. This plant is located near a component facility that was recently involved in a fire incident in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 17, Reuters revealed that Tata Electronics, part of India&#8217;s Tata Group, has reached an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Pegatron&#8217;s sole iPhone manufacturing facility in India.
