Main Voltage in Hong Kong

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong runs on a main voltage of 220 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Hong Kong socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Hong Kong?

Yes, but it depends on which socket your hotel has. Hong Kong uses Type G and D sockets at 220V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Hong Kong voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian plug fits Type D sockets directly, but will not fit Type G sockets without an adapter. You do not need a voltage converter — Hong Kong's 220V is the same as India's 230V.
