Taiwan-based Wistron, a manufacturer on contract for Apple Inc, is set to resume production at Kolar in Karnataka in the next few days, says Jagadish Shettar

Apple, which has steadily raised production of iPhones in India to lessen its dependence on Chinese manufacturing, took part in that scheme via its contract manufacturers

J.P. Morgan analyst William Yang said in a note last week that weak demand for the smaller iPhone 12 and 12 mini might lead Apple to stop production of the mini in the second quarter

Apple has said that corrective actions have been completed and that Wistron has initiated the process for restarting operations at Karnataka plant

Production of recently launched Apple iPhone 12 mini should have started by now but after the violence, it's been delayed. Apple had found Wistron in violation of its 'Supplier Code of Conduct' last month and placed it on probation

Labour trouble at the plant calls for introspection on the right balance between reforms and Licence Raj

Bina, Charu and Samir, in two separate suits, contended that there was a trust deed between the family members and the KK Modi family trust matters cannot be settled through arbitration in a foreign country as per Indian laws

Workers at Wistron's manufacturing plant at Narsapura in Kolar district, had gone on a rampage on December 12 over the alleged delay in payment of salary and overtime wages

Apple has placed Wistron on probation, saying on Saturday it would not award the Taiwanese contract manufacturer new business until it addressed the way workers were treated at its southern India plant

Wistron on Saturday, December 19, admitted some workers at the Karnataka plant had not been paid properly or on time and removed its Vice-President who oversees its India business

Apple employees and independent auditors hired by the American tech giant have been working round the clock to investigate the issues that occurred at Wistron's Narasapura facility

According to sources, the company has removed Vincent Lee, vice-president (innovation business group) of Wistron Infocomm Manufacturing India from the post and is undertaking a restructuring of its teams internally, while Sudipto Gupta, managing director stays

PM Modi says coming 27 years will not only determine India's global role but will also test dreams and dedication of crores of Indians. This is time to show your capability, commitment and courage as Indian industry, the PM told industry titans

Wistron violence: Notices have already been sent to third-party staffing firms. A report to the state government is expected shortly

The worst performers were Future Lifestyle Fashions, Future Retail, Suven Life Sciences, Future Consumer, YES Bank, GE Power and Federal-Mogul Goetze (India) that witnessed price erosion between 52 and 78.3 per cent from January 01 to December 16, 2020

Hundreds of workers have been arrested or detained by police, and the Karnataka government has condemned the violence, vowing to take the 'strictest action' against the wrongdoers

Office of iPhone manufacturing company was vandalised over alleged non-payment of salary to some staff members on December 12; Wistron in its filing pegged around Rs 27-52 crore loss due to destruction caused by some employees

Karnataka labour department has also initiated a probe into the non-payment of workers. A report to the state government is expected in the coming days

While the state government expects report on Wistron incident in the next 2-3 days, third-party staffing contractors said they are cooperating with all investing agencies

Last year the company had announced that it had remapped the business into 15 clusters on the basis of geography, psychographic and purchase habits
