India has joined the European Union, announcing that devices sold in the country must feature a USB-C port by 2025.
India is following the European Union into the USB-C future., the country has announced that manufacturers will have to use USB-C as the standard port on devices by March 2025. Rohit Kumar Singh, secretary for the ministry of consumer affairs, said that the rules will apply to mobile and wearable electronic devices, and “two common types of charging ports” will be mandated by the government.
“BIS has notified standards for type C chargers and the government will come up with two common types of charging ports for mobiles and wearable electronic devices.” While USB-C is the obvious candidate for mobile devices, it’s unclear what type of charging port the government may mandate for wearables.
Singh pointed to the European Union, which is implementing a similar mandate in 2024, as the reason for the country making the move to require USB-C on devices. “There is a broad consensus among the industry and government that the use of USB type C charging ports can be made mandatory after six months of the European Union’s rolling out of standards for USB charging ports in 2024 as electronic manufacturers have a global integrated supply chain.”
