As per news source, as India is double checking the imports from China, it has disrupted operations at Foxconn plant in South India which manufactures Apple phones. Other foreign firms are also facing delays as tensions between the two countries build.
The Custom officers at Indian ports have put the Chinese shipments on hold and sought additional clearances after deadly clashes at the disputed Himalayan border last month. The checks have been imposed without any formal order.
The news source also reveals that, companies like Apple, Dell are battling to free the stuck shipments, the employees of Foxconn’s both the plants in South India has no major work to do this week.
More than 150 Foxconn shipments - containing smartphone and electronic parts - were stuck at the port of Chennai, though some are being cleared slowly now, the first source said. The total number of parts in the shipments was not clear.
The two plants of Foxconn, one in Tamil Nadu and other in Andhra Pradesh mainly assemble Apple and Xiaomi smartphones in the country and employ thousands of workers, many of whom stay in company-provided accommodation.
"Foxconn was in a very bad state ... lots of workers stayed at the dormitory because there was no work," said the first source.
This disruption comes at a time when companies in India re struggling with disrupted supply chains due to coronavirus shutdowns in recent months. Business activity has only just begun to pick up.
While some delayed Dell shipments have been cleared since last week, the company had roughly 130 shipments stuck this week at Indian ports, the second source said. This included around six shipping containers with parts for servers and desktop computers, the person added.
