Apple’s Indian supplier Tata Electronics announced on Tuesday that the state pollution control board has dropped its scrutiny of the company’s iPhone components plant after the firm addressed concerns over contamination.
The Tamil Nadu pollution control authority had earlier warned Tata of a potential forced shutdown unless it explained government findings that wastewater discharge from the plant had contaminated open wells in adjacent agricultural lands, Reuters reported on Saturday.

On Tuesday, Tata told Reuters in a statement that the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board had confirmed that the company “has satisfactorily addressed all queries mentioned” in the warning notice and “dropped any further course of action on this issue.”
Tata said in its statement that the pollution board has confirmed “that the reports of its own analysis of recently collected water samples from Tata Electronics’ manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu do not indicate any contamination”.
Tata added that it had commissioned an independent analysis through an accredited laboratory, the results of which indicated that all the parameters were within prescribed limits, and it submitted a formal response including those results to the pollution authority.
