Travel adapter from Antigua and Barbuda to India

Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Antigua and Barbuda and India, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

Adapter required

Yes — coming from Antigua and Barbuda, you will need a travel adapter for India. Antigua and Barbuda uses Type A/Type B plugs, and India uses Type C/Type D/Type M, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.

Frequency differs (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). Rarely an issue for most electronics, but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
