Tata Electronics said it plans to resume partial operations at its fire-hit Tamil Nadu-based factory from Thursday.
The operations have been suspended since September 28 after a massive fire broke out at a chemical godown of the electronics component factory of Tata Electronics at Hosur in Tamil Nadu.
The safety and well-being of our employees is always our top priority, and we've been working diligently since Saturday to support our team and to identify the cause of the fire at our Hosur facility.
"We plan to restart work in many areas of the facility today. And as we work toward resuming full operations, all our team members will continue to receive full pay," Tata Electronics said in a statement.

The fire incident is not expected to impact supplies of iPhones as the company is said to have enough stocks to meet the demand for the next three months.
The fire resulted in extensive damage to Tata Electronics' operations and production line, according to earlier reports. At the time of the incident, approximately 1,500 workers were present for the morning shift. Officials confirmed that all employees were safely evacuated.
