Travel adapter from Saint Kitts and Nevis to India

Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Saint Kitts and Nevis and India, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

Adapter required

Yes — coming from Saint Kitts and Nevis, you will need a travel adapter for India. Saint Kitts and Nevis uses Type A/Type B/Type G 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.
