After a lot of debate around the matter, the EU finally passed the law to mandate USB-C by 2024. Now, India might be following the trail and is soon expected to make USB-C a standard for smartphones and more devices. Have a look at the details.

The Government of India and a few agencies recently held a meeting of the Central Inter-Ministerial Task Force to discuss standardizing charging ports of electronic devices in India. The meeting, chaired by Rohit Kumar Singh, Secretary of India’s Department of Consumer Affairs, discussed making USB-C a standard.

That said, there’s no word on when India plans to make USB-C a standard and we await more details on this. As for the EU law, it requires all phones to get the USB Type-C port by 2024 and expects the same for laptops by 2026.
