CTOnews.com August 18, the Indian government has confirmed that it will set up a panel of experts to consider using universal chargers for portable electronic products. These chargers will also be used to charge smartphones. Indian Consumer Affairs Minister Rohit Kumar Singh announced the news and raised concerns about e-waste. In addition, Singh revealed that industry stakeholders want to shift the discussion to general chargers.

It is worth noting that EU policy instructs all smartphones and portable devices to switch to USB Type-C. However, the Indian government is considering the possibility of forcing the use of two types of chargers, which will include USB Type-C. Different devices use special chargers provided or recommended by the manufacturer. In July, for example, Nintendo's official support account urged users to avoid using smartphone cable chargers to charge Switch.

The final decision of the Indian government will be the result of its discussions with stakeholders. In Singh's view, this is a "complex problem". Since India plays a vital role in making chargers, it is important to understand people's views. In addition, Singh explained that the government will make the final decision from the perspective of manufacturers, users, industry and the environment. In addition, the expert group will explore the different views of each stakeholder.

Leading handset makers have come under fire for not providing chargers in the boxes. Now, India is considering using a universal charging port for all devices. According to News 18, the government met with industry stakeholders in August. During the meeting, the Government will discuss stopping the use of different chargers to reduce e-waste.

CTOnews.com learned that this would be similar to an EU authorization announcement. Under the license, handset manufacturers must launch devices with USB Type-C ports from 2024.

In June, the European Union reached an interim agreement on a unified charger, with proposed legislation that would force all future smartphones, including Apple's iPhone, to use a common USB-C port to charge. In addition to mobile phones, these rules also apply to other electronic devices, including tablets, digital cameras and e-readers. In addition to agreeing to use a universal charging interface, the European Union has also reached an agreement on a unified fast charging standard.

This agreement includes:

USB-C interfaces are used for mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, digital cameras and more devices

Unified fast charging technology

Charger sales are separated from equipment sales.
