The government of India has finally decided to make USB Tye C as the universal charger for all the smart phones from March 2025. Recently this information was given by the Government of India.
The government decided on the March 2025 after discussing standards with various industry stakeholders and taking into account the global supply chain’s limitations and the availability of products. Additionally, all future models of laptops will feature USB Type-C charging connections. The deadline will be set by the European Union (EU) timeline for implementing uniform charging port standards.
As mobile device makers are asked to migrate to USB Type-C as the default charging port for electronic devices in India by March 2025, feature phones, wearables, and hearables are likely to be exempted from having a USB Type-C connection for charging ports.
Citing a senior government official, a report stated that the exclusion is being evaluated in theory after industry participants who may be harmed by the proposal expressed worries about rising input prices, which would make feature phones significantly more expensive.
As per the report, India will follow the same timelines as the EU, but they will allow businesses an extra three to four months to comply. Meanwhile, an Apple executive recently said that the company will have to follow the EU’s order and does not have a choice. iPhones are the only smartphones to come with a Lightning port and not USB Type-C.
