Portronics has launched the Car Power Neo, a car charger with up to 96W of combined output, at a listed introductory price of ₹1,349. The launch matters to drivers who keep phones, navigation devices or other compatible electronics powered on daily commutes and longer road trips.
FoneArena and Live Hindustan reported the launch on 22 Oct 2026. The manufacturer’s product page, checked on 24 Oct 2026, lists the same ₹1,349 price against an MRP of ₹2,499, although it also displays “Coming Soon” and “Sale Coming Soon” notices. That means the price is a current listing to check, not a permanent retail guarantee.
Key takeaways
- The Car Power Neo combines a 45W retractable Type-C cable, a 33W Type-C Power Delivery port and an 18W USB-A port.
- Portronics and the launch reports say up to three compatible devices can be charged at the same time.
- The listed introductory price is ₹1,349, while the displayed MRP is ₹2,499; the difference is ₹1,150 based on those figures.
- The charger includes overcharge, short-circuit, under-voltage and temperature-monitoring protections, plus a 12-month warranty.
What Portronics has launched
The Car Power Neo is a vehicle accessory with a built-in one-metre retractable Type-C cable. The cable is rated for up to 45W, while the separate Type-C PD port is rated at 33W and the USB-A port at 18W. The manufacturer describes the product as a three-device charger for compatible phones, tablets, earbuds, power banks and supported USB-C laptops.
These are maximum output figures, not a promise that one device will receive 96W. Actual charging speed depends on the device, cable, charging protocol and how power is shared across the connected ports. Buyers can review the manufacturer’s Car Power Neo specification page for the listed port ratings and compatibility information.
Price and availability
FoneArena’s 22 Oct 2026 report put the product’s MRP at ₹2,499 and its special price at ₹1,349. TechnoSports reported the same price and a 12-month warranty on 22 Oct 2026, while Live Hindustan also reported the ₹1,349 listing. The official page checked on 24 Oct 2026 showed the two prices but marked the purchase flow as coming soon.
For a reader comparing the numbers, ₹1,349 is ₹1,150 below the displayed MRP. That is a simple comparison of the listed figures, not a claim about future discounts or the price shown by every retailer. Availability, delivery charges and final checkout terms can differ between the manufacturer’s store and other sellers, so those details need to be checked on the day of purchase.
What it changes on a commute or road trip
The practical benefit is cable and socket management rather than a change to the vehicle itself. A driver and passengers can use the built-in cable and two additional ports without carrying a separate multi-port adapter. The retractable design can also reduce loose cable length around the centre console or gear area.
That can be useful when preparing a long journey in the road-trip planner, especially when more than one passenger depends on a phone for navigation, calls or entertainment. The charger does not reduce fuel use or toll charges; drivers can estimate the journey separately with the fuel cost calculator and check current rates on the live fuel prices page.
Checks before using a high-output car charger
- Confirm that the vehicle has a working accessory socket and that the plug sits firmly without excessive heat or movement.
- Match the connected device’s charging requirement with the cable and port being used. A USB-C connector alone does not guarantee high-speed charging.
- Do not treat the combined 96W rating as a device-specific charging promise; the connected phone, tablet or laptop still controls the accepted power.
- Keep the retractable cable clear of pedals, steering controls and moving seat parts, and unplug the adapter if the socket or plug becomes unusually hot.
Reader takeaway
The Portronics Car Power Neo is a newly reported car accessory aimed at multi-device charging during everyday driving. Its useful differentiators are the built-in retractable cable and the three-output layout, while the main purchase checks are current availability, device compatibility and the vehicle’s socket condition. The ₹1,349 figure should be read as the manufacturer’s listed introductory price as checked on 24 Oct 2026, not as a fixed price across all sellers.
