Asia/Kolkata · UTC+5:30
India runs on India Standard Time (IST), a fixed UTC+5:30 offset. Clocks are never moved for daylight saving here, so the gap to UTC is identical in January and July. One zone spans the country from Gujarat to Assam, and the half-hour offset means the difference to the US or Europe is never a round number of hours. The clock above reads the Asia/Kolkata zone directly and is accurate to the second.

Common questions
- What time is it in India right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in India, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because India is always UTC+5:30, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in India?
- UTC+5:30, all year: India Standard Time, abbreviated IST. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does India observe daylight saving time?
- No. India stays on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for India?
- Asia/Kolkata. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for India rather than one fixed number.
