Asia/Kolkata · UTC+5:30
IST stands for India Standard Time, a fixed UTC+5:30 offset used by the whole of India, and shared with Sri Lanka. There is no seasonal switch, so IST means the same thing in January as in July, and the clock above stays UTC+5:30 every day of the year. IST is one of the few half-hour offsets still in use, so the gap to London or New York is never a whole number of hours. Note that IST is also used as shorthand for Irish and Israel Standard Time.

Common questions
- What time is it in IST right now?

- What UTC offset is IST?
- UTC+5:30, all year: India Standard Time, abbreviated IST. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does IST observe daylight saving time?
- No. IST stays on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What does IST stand for?
