Usually the voltage specification for the MagSafe adapter is worldwide

and automatically adjusts for the input value, so output remains correct.


This should mean that an adapter from one region or country would be

able to work elsewhere in other locations where the grid power and the

AC power-in plug may differ. A 'primary adapter' which only physically

changes the shape of the plug-in, should be all that is needed.


However there may be differences in certain desktop models (was so

in the past decades) which were of narrower market; so it always is

important to check the machine hardware specifications for details.


The world-wide travel kit from Apple has a selection of passive adapter

connectors, to fit local plug-ins and other quality travel adapters can be

used; but there usually is no need to get an electronic adapter to change

the current. The Apple MagSafe power supplies automatically adjust.


In any event...

Good luck & happy trails! 🙂

Tha AC side of the MacBook power adapters is removable. In the US, you can use either the compact plug adapter (sometimes called "duck-bill") or the two meter extension type cord.


If you are in India for a while, you may find it more convenient to obtain a two-meter extension type cord with the local plug for the wall-end.


But no transformer is needed.
