Important claims and supporting citations
The FY2024 filing explicitly describes Wistron India’s business as “Final Assembly Test and Packaging of handsets.”
The acquisition date of March 18, 2024, provides the strongest public documentary basis for classifying Tata as an iPhone assembler, rather than merely an iPhone-parts supplier.
Wistron estimated the price of the proposed transaction with Tata Electronics at US$125 million at the October 27, 2023, stage, and stated it still required agreements, filings, and regulatory approvals.
Claims that Tata definitively “became” an iPhone assembler in October 2023 compress an announced transaction and its later legal completion into one event.
Tata became the first Indian-controlled iPhone assembler primarily by changing the ownership and control of established capacity, rather than through an indigenous greenfield assembly launch.
In June 2024, Apple notified suppliers to cease sourcing 3TG for Apple parts/products, directly or indirectly, from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, citing escalating regional conflict, smuggling, and illegal taxation.
On October 27, 2023, Wistron’s board authorized its subsidiaries to sign a share-purchase agreement with Tata Electronics.
Tata was not India’s first iPhone assembler; Wistron assembled the first batch of iPhone SE units in Bengaluru in May 2017.
Outstanding questions
- Tata Electronics is the first Indian-headquartered iPhone assembler.
- Pegatron's Indian operation came under Tata control in 2024.
