- Over 70 workers died in three major explosions in Indian factories within a week.
- Incidents include a boiler blast at a Vedanta plant and explosions at firecracker factories in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
- A 2017 study estimated 48,000 job-related deaths annually in India, while official data reports only 1,109 deaths.
- There is only one inspector for every 973 factories in Delhi, indicating insufficient safety inspections.
- Approximately 90% of Indian workers are in the informal sector with lower safety standards.
Indian safety incidents are unlikely to materially affect Turkish industrial sector fundamentals over the medium term. However, increased global scrutiny could pressure Turkish companies to enhance compliance.
