The Indian government is working to adopt a universal charger regulation similar to the European Union's. This regulation will require devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets to use a Type C port for charging and data transfer.

The Department of Consumer Affairs is considering mandating two types of common charging ports, one for mobile devices and tablets, and another for wearables like smartwatches.
