On June 23, 2026, Bajaj Auto and Tata Electronics reported cyberattacks that disrupted their IT systems. The attacks, identified as ransomware incidents, raised alarms over potential data exposure, particularly sensitive information related to Apple and Tesla. Both companies activated their incident response mechanisms to contain the breaches. Cybersecurity experts highlighted that the manufacturing sector is increasingly targeted as factories become more interconnected. Kaspersky's report noted that manufacturing was the only major industry to see an increase in attacks on industrial control systems in Q1 2026. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has urged organizations to enhance cybersecurity measures, including network segmentation and multi-factor authentication. Experts warned that legacy systems still in use could exacerbate vulnerabilities. The breaches could undermine India's position in the global supply chain, particularly in light of its 'China-plus-one' strategy.
