Main Voltage in India

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in India?

India runs on a main voltage of 230 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 India socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in India?

Yes, your Indian charger works in India without any adapter. India uses Type C, D and M sockets at 230V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle India voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian Type C and D plugs fit India sockets directly, so just plug in and charge. You do not need a voltage converter — India's 230V is the same as India's 230V.
