Should be no problem. Sounds like you are thinking of sending one
there or having one sent.

Inda is 220/240V. You might have a switch on the camera's charger to
switch the thing from 120 to 220. It would most likely be a small
slide switch. Then all you will have to do is get an adapter plug to
adapt the US plug for use as wall plugs in India. India uses "E" and
"B" plugs. I am not sure which is most common. The US uses "A"
plugs. This might help:

If your charger's voltage is not switchable then you will have to get
voltage converter (or a switchable charger?) but that should be no
problem whatsoever online, and it will not cost much.

HTH.

Many electronic appliances, including battery chargers, have
a "universal" input voltage rating. These devices can be
powered from any standard mains outlet from 110V/60Hz to
240V/50Hz without even a changeover switch.

This is usually printed on the charger and probably mentioned
in the manual too. The OP could check there or ask at a shop.
But beware, some salesmen are quite ignorant about such things.

The charger for my Panasonic FZ20 is rated for 110-240V at
50/60Hz (India uses 230V at 50Hz), and comes with two
detachable power cords, one with a flat-bladed plug, and
another with round prongs.
