It is expected to form three expert groups to study the matter.
On Wednesday, the government held preliminary talks with stakeholders to explore how such a standard can be achieved across devices<\/a> including mobile handsets, laptops, tablets, smart speakers, wireless earbuds, and smart watches, among others.
At the meeting between officials of the consumer affairs ministry, electronics manufacturers and industry stakeholders, IT hardware<\/a> manufacturers such as Dell<\/a> and HP<\/a> opposed the move while smartphone brands said they were already close to having USB-C type charging ports as a common standard, except for feature phones, executives present at the meeting said.
Ministry officials said they would set up three expert groups to understand how the common standard can be achieved.
The expert groups will study three broad segments – laptops and tablets, smartphones and feature phones, and wearables and smartwatches.
Executives of smartphone brands such as Samsung and Apple, hardware makers HP<\/a>, Dell<\/a> and Lenovo<\/a> and industry organisations like Ficci, CII and ICEA, as well as representatives from IIT-Delhi and IIT-BHU, were present at the meeting.
ET emailed queries to all the companies and industry associations but did not get responses as of press time Wednesday.
IT hardware<\/a> manufacturers pushed back on the government's intent to have a common charging standard<\/a>, saying laptops vary on their power requirements, and are served by multiple charging standards.
While some laptops support USB-C type charging, most budget and high-end laptops rely on proprietary barrel-pin chargers.
The USB-C type is the latest standard, but high-end workstations and gaming laptops require proprietary charging due to high power requirements to run power-hungry CPUs and GPUs.
Smartphone manufacturers, on the other hand, said most Android smartphones<\/a> were already on USB-C charging, which is the standard mandated by the European Union.
However, feature phones still use micro-USB charging ports, and upgrading it to USB-C will put additional cost pressure on manufacturers, they said.
A common charging port will also impact cable and charger manufacturers.
India is the largest manufacturer of chargers and cables, according to the India Cellular and Electronics Association<\/a> (ICEA).
A common charging standard<\/a> will reduce opportunities for innovation and of having a wider product portfolio.
The government is, however, looking to implement the common standard to reduce e-waste and make lives easier for consumers, who currently need to carry multiple chargers for all the devices they own.
“It's a difficult thing to implement since the charging requirements vary from one device to another. Smartphones need anywhere between 15-100W of charging, while laptops run on 60W and even 120W chargers. Having a common standard will defeat the purpose of having multiple charging speeds, especially at a time when smartphones and laptops are moving towards achieving faster charging speeds,” an industry executive present at the meeting said.
The European Union on June 7 agreed to have a common USB-C charging standard across mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and cameras in the region, while laptops need to adopt the common charging standard within 40 months of the entry coming into force.
USB-C is a cable standard set by the USB Implementers Forum, a global non-profit organisation created to promote and maintain specifications of the universal serial bus.
The USB-C standard is noted for its symmetrical connector that can be plugged in any direction, unlike the previous micro-USB standard which could only be done in one particular way.
However, even within USB-C, there are multiple fragmentations and standards, even as the shape of the charging pin remains the same.
As a result, even after having a common charging standard, it is not necessary that the same cable will be able to deliver the same charging speed across all mobile devices, the industry executive said.

政府想要普通的充电器,形成3个专家小组

预计形成三个专家小组来研究。
周三,政府与利益相关者进行了初步商谈,探索如何实现这样的一个标准设备包括手机、笔记本电脑、平板电脑、智能音箱,无线耳机,和智能手表,等等。
消费者事务的官员之间的会议,电子产品制造商和行业利益相关者,它的硬件制造商,例如戴尔和惠普反对此举,而智能手机品牌说他们已经接近USB-C类型充电端口为一个共同的标准,除了功能手机,高管出席会议说。
政府官员表示,他们将设置三个专家小组了解如何实现共同的标准。
专家小组将研究三大领域——笔记本电脑和平板电脑,智能手机和功能手机,衣物和smartwatches。
智能手机品牌,如三星和苹果的高管,硬件制造商惠普,戴尔和联想和行业组织像印度工商联合会,人民共和国工商东亚,以及IIT-Delhi和IIT-BHU的代表,出席了会议。
等邮件查询所有的公司和行业协会,但没有得到反应周三新闻时间。
它的硬件制造商推迟对政府有一个共同的目的收费标准说笔记本电脑不同的功率要求,由多个服务收费标准。
虽然一些笔记本电脑支持USB-C类型充电,大多数预算和高端笔记本电脑依靠自营barrel-pin充电器。
USB-C类型是最新的标准,但高端工作站和游戏笔记本电脑需要专用充电由于高功率需求运行耗电cpu和gpu。
智能手机制造商,但另一方面,说最多安卓智能手机已经在USB-C充电,这是欧盟规定的标准。
然而,功能手机仍在使用微型usb充电端口,并升级到USB-C制造商将额外的成本压力,他们说。
常见的充电端口电缆和充电器制造商也将影响。
印度是最大的充电器和电缆制造商,根据印度手机和电子协会(ICEA)。
一个统一的收费标准将减少的创新机会和更广泛的产品组合。
然而,政府正在寻求实现共同的标准来减少电子垃圾和使生活更容易为消费者,目前需要携带多个充电器为所有他们自己的设备。
“这是一个很难实现自充电需求变化从一个设备到另一个地方。智能手机之间的任何地方需要15 - 100 w的充电,在笔记本电脑上运行60 w甚至120 w充电器。有一个共同的标准将击败拥有多个充电速度的目的,特别是在智能手机和笔记本电脑正在实现更快的充电速度,”一位业内高管出席会议说。
欧盟6月7日同意有一个共同的USB-C收费标准在移动设备,包括智能手机、平板电脑和相机,而笔记本电脑需要采用普通收费标准40个月内生效的条目。
USB-C是有线USB实现者论坛设定的标准,创建一个全球性的非盈利组织,促进和维护规范的通用串行总线。
USB-C标准著称对称连接器可以插入任何方向,与前面的微型usb标准,只能在一个特定的方式完成的。
然而,即使在USB-C,有多个破碎和标准,即使充电销的形状是相同的。
因此,即使有一个共同的收费标准,没有必要,同样的电缆将能够提供相同的充电速度在所有移动设备,行业高管表示。
