Apple had suspended new orders to Wistron in December after workers, hired on a monthly pay of $200 (RUPEES), stormed the factory and rioted over unpaid salaries.
Wistron, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer for Apple in India, said the impact won't be significant as the Karnataka facility was a new operation and the shipment quantity small.
Wistron, which assembles the latest version of the iPhone SE at the violence-hit plant, fired its Vice President who was heading the company's operations in India.

Karnataka Labour Minister Shivaram Hebbar said Wistron, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer for Apple, has stated it will try to start the facility in about 15 days.
