Health and safety concerns led to the temporary shutdown, raising questions about workplace conditions in the fast-growing electric vehicle supply chain. Authorities are expected to investigate the incident, which could have broader implications for industry standards. The restart follows corrective measures, though details on the exact risks and fixes remain under review.
