India sets USB-C charging deadline for smartphones
Smartphones and other mobile devices sold in India must have a USB-C charging port as standard by March 2025.to require USB-C charging ports in all phones, tablets, and cameras sold in the European Economic Community from the end of 2024. Laptops will be required to use USB-C beginning in 2026.
This week, India's Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh said his country – the world's second-largest smartphone market – will follow closely behind Europe. "In India, the directive will kick in three months after the European Union because the mobile and electronics makers have a global supply chain, and they don't supply to India alone," he wasIndia's Business Standard,"There is a broad consensus among the industry and government that the use of type-C charging ports can be made mandatory after six months of the European Union's rolling out of standards for charging ports in 2024 as electronic manufacturers have a...
So we'll interpret that as: three months after Europe's deadline, India will also require USB-C charging as standard on smartphones, tablets, and other devices sold within its borders, and after six months, it really will mean it. Manufacturers have indicated they'll gradually roll out USB-C charging in line with India's deadline if they're not using the tech already. It's New Delhi's Bureau of Indian Standards that'll be formalizing and driving the changes.

Chronic diseases and productivity loss among middle-aged and elderly in India - BMC Public HealthContext Chronic diseases are growing in India and largely affecting the middle-aged and elderly population; many of them are in working age. Though a large number of studies estimated the out-of-pocket payment and financial catastrophe due to this condition, there are no nationally representative studies on productivity loss due to health problems. This paper examined the pattern and prevalence of productivity loss, due to chronic diseases among middle-aged and elderly in India. Methods We have used a total of 72,250 respondents from the first wave of Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), conducted in 2017-18. We have used two dependent variables, limiting paid work and ever stopped work due to ill health. We have estimated the age-sex adjusted prevalence of ever stopped working due to ill health and limiting paid work across MPCE quintile and socio- demographic characteristics. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and logistic regression was used to examine the effect of chronic diseases on both these variables. Findings We estimated that among middle aged adults in 45–64 years, 3,213 individuals accounting to 6.9% (95%CI:6.46–7.24) had ever-stopped work and 6,300 individuals accounting to 22.7% (95% CI: 21.49–23.95) had limiting paid work in India. The proportion of ever-stopped and limiting work due to health problem increased significantly with age and the number of chronic diseases. Limiting paid work is higher among females (25.1%), and in urban areas (24%) whereas ever-stopped is lower among female (5.7%) (95% CI:5.16–6.25 ) and in urban areas (4.9%) (95% CI: 4.20–5.69). The study also found that stroke (21.1%) and neurological or psychiatric problems (18%) were significantly associated with both ever stopped work and limiting paid work. PSM model shows that, those with chronic diseases are 4% and 11% more likely to stop and limit their work respectively. Regression model reveals that more than one chronic conditions had a consistent and significant positive
