India Mandates USB-C Charging by End of 2026 for Smartphones, Tablets, and Laptops
India, as the world's second largest smartphone market, and a growing PC and tablet market, has also been thinking about promoting the use of USB-C interfaces. The charging head network just received news that India is preparing to force smartphones, tablets and laptops to be equipped with USB-C interfaces by the end of 2026.
The USB-C interface has gradually become a standard interface for consumer electronic devices due to its excellent ease of use and powerful functionality. Last year, the iPhone 15 series was replaced with a USB-C interface, taking an important step towards the unification of smartphone interfaces.
According to Livemint on June 21, starting in June 2025, all mobile phones and tablets sold in India must be equipped with USB-C interfaces. This move aims to reduce electronic waste and bring convenience to users by unifying chargers and cables. It is expected that by the end of 2026, laptops will also have to use it.
India followed closely after the EU implemented the policy of mandatory use of USB-C interfaces, which shows that the standardization of USB-C interfaces for products such as smartphones, tablets and laptops has become a trend. Regardless of whether it is Android, Apple or Windows devices, this unification will bring better compatibility. The USB-C interface market is expected to usher in a broader prospect, and more and more products will adopt this interface.
In short, the Indian authorities have not officially announced the mandatory use of USB-C interfaces for smartphones, tablets and laptops, but the
standardization of USB-C interfaces on smart devices has become a global consensus. It is estimated that Indian official agencies will officially confirm this policy soon. The ease of use and functionality of the USB-C interface have made it recognized by many countries around the world, which can help global consumers travel more conveniently and contribute to environmental protection.
