Like the European Union, the rule of common charging port can be implemented in India too. However, the government has not yet issued any notification in this regard, but this is being claimed in many reports. If reports are to be believed, the government is considering implementing the rule of a single charging port for all smartphones and tablets.
Common Charger Regulation: Like the European Union, the rule of one charger can be implemented in India too. If reports are to be believed, the government is considering implementing the rule of common charging port. After the implementation of this rule, only one charging port will be required for all smartphones and tablets.
The government can make Type-C charging port common. In the year 2022, the European Union passed this rule, after which Apple also had to provide Type-C charging port in iPhone. The government can make an announcement on this by the end of this year.
Smartphones, tablets and laptops will be charged with the same charger
The government is taking this step towards reducing e-waste. After this rule, users will be able to charge all their smartphones and tablets with the same charger. If reports are to be believed, the government can make Type-C charging port mandatory for laptops in the coming days.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology wants manufacturers to use the same charging port for tablets, smartphones and laptops. This rule will be implemented for laptops in 2026, while for smartphones and tablets it can be implemented in June 2025.
This rule has already come in the European Union
Wearable devices and feature phones cannot be included in this list. Earlier in the year 2022, the government started considering this. At that time a meeting was also held regarding one country one charger. India may soon announce its new rule. However, no fixed date has been revealed for this.
The European Union passed this rule in the year 2022. At that time Apple opposed it. The company had advocated a lot for the Lightning port, but they did not get any success in it. However, last year the company started using Type-C charging port instead of Lightning port in its phones.
Even after having Type-C port, there is a problem of heating when charging the iPhone with another brand charger. Apple also informed the users about this while launching new phones. The company had clarified that using chargers of other brands may cause problems in the iPhone.
