Domestic Electrical Plugs
Hi
Please would someone inform me if UK plugs work in India, or is there a specific plug/socket that I will need to buy? Thanks in advance, Vicky |

Buy an adapter in India - they cost Rs.15/- and are available everywhere.
In India we have round pins - in the UK we have square pins. The adapter will also take a 2 pin plug (i.e. shaver) and many other foreign plugs. The voltage is the same as the UK.

Does anyone know if adaptors for more than just UK plugs are available everywhere? i.e. US plugs? And what about currency converters?
