Daylight saving in India
India does not use daylight saving: it stays on IST (UTC+5:30) all year. Its gap to cities that do change, such as New York or London, shifts by an hour when they change their clocks.

Questions about time in India
What time zone is India in?
India uses India Standard Time (IANA zone Asia/Kolkata). Right now that is IST, UTC+5:30.
Does India observe daylight saving time?
No. India stays on UTC+5:30 all year, so its gap to other cities only changes when they change their clocks.
How do I convert a time in India to my time?
Type it in the box on this page, like “3 PM India Friday”. MeetETA shows it in your own time zone, using the correct offset for that date even across a daylight saving change.
