USB-C Is Now Mandatory in India: The Fast-Charging Catch

Every new phone and tablet sold in India must now carry a USB-C port; laptops follow by end of 2026.

A common port is not a common charge speed — proprietary tech still locks top speeds to the bundled brick.

Look for USB-PD and PPS support if you want fast charging from any third-party charger.

Smartwatches, earbuds, fitness bands and basic feature phones are exempt from the rule.

Stop hoarding chargers: a single 65W USB-PD brick can safely power most of your gadgets.
