Electrical System Overview
India uses Type C, D, and M plugs at 230V/50Hz. Type D (the old British standard) is most common. Voltage fluctuations are frequent, so surge protectors are highly recommended for sensitive electronics. Power cuts occur in some regions, and many buildings have backup generators.
