Can I use my UK laptop charger in India?

🔌
Yes – with a plug adapter

India uses 230V, close to the UK's 230V, so your laptop charger works normally. You'll need a universal travel adapter.

How to check your laptop charger

Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:

  • 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
  • A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
  • 220–240V only – fine in India.

Plugs in India

Yes. You'll need a universal travel adapter.

  • Type C: Two round pins (the "Europlug")
  • Type D: Three large round pins in a triangle
  • Type M: Three large round pins (larger than type D)
