Pegatron says iPhone assembly resumes at Indian factory after fire

Pegatron has resumed production at its contract facility for Apple in southern India after a shutdown over the weekend due to a fire, the company said on Wednesday. It has previously said the incident "does not have significant financial or operational impact". The fire was sparked by a short-circuit after an electrical switch was left on, following testing of the devices as they were being put together, Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday.
