In the coming days, you will get a single charger for all electronic devices including smartphones, and tablets. A senior consumer ministry official said that the ministry has called a meeting of the industry on August 17 for this. It will discuss what might be a problem in implementing a single charger for all electronic devices. The official said that mobile manufacturers and other organizations have been called to this meeting.

 

Too many chargers will end

 

According to the official, there are plans to eliminate the many chargers that have been arranged so far. In addition, this will also reduce e-waste. Recently, the European Union has called for a rule to adopt a USB-C port for small electronic devices by 2024. Similar plans are being made in America as well.

 

emphasis on change

 

The official said that companies in Europe and America can provide such service, then why can't they do so in India? Portable devices like smartphones and tablets should only have a normal charger. The official said that if India does not insist on this change, then such products can be dumped here. At present, customers have to buy a new charger separately every time they buy a new device due to this.
