India to exempt these devices from USB Type-C rule

India is making it mandatory for all electronic devices to use USB Type-C charging by March 2025 but it seems like some of these electronic devices are going to get exemption. There are chances that the government could exclude feature phones, wearables and hearables from this list.

According to reports, India may exclude these devices from having a USB Type-C port. This exclusion is being considered after industry participants who may be affected by the rule, showed concerns about the increased input prices. The addition of Type-C port to devices like feature phones or hearables will lead to an increase in their prices.
