Apple Inc supplier Wistron Corp could restart operations somewhere next week at its factory in southern India which was damaged during staff protests in December, according to sources. The Wistron plant in the Narasapura industrial area of Karnataka state was shut after contract workers angry over unpaid wages destroyed property, equipment, and iPhones on Dec. 12, causing millions of dollars in losses to the Taiwanese company. Apple put Wistron on probation after its audit of the plant found violations of 'Supplier Code of Conduct'. A reopening of the plant would require Apple's approval, a fourth source said. "Wistron reconstruction is nearing completion... and iPhone production will very likely begin next week," one of the sources said. Wistron, which assembled the second-generation iPhone SE at the site and was expected to start making newer models, would gradually ramp up production at the factory over the next few weeks, two of the sources said.
