The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Hong Kong and India.
| Hong Kong | India | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G, D, M | C, D, M |
| Voltage | 220V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Hong Kong there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In India there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type G
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type C
(India)
Socket Type G
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type D
(India)
Socket Type G
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type M
(India)
In India there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type C
(India)
Socket Type D
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type M
(India)
India also uses Socket Type D, which is used in Hong Kong. If using an appliance that has a Type D Plug in the Type D Sockets of India, you will not need an adaptor.
In India there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type M
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type C
(India)
Socket Type M
(Hong Kong) to Plug Type D
(India)
India also uses Socket Type M, which is used in Hong Kong. If using an appliance that has a Type M Plug in the Type M Sockets of India, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Hong Kong (220V) and India (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Hong Kong and India is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
