How to use this time zone converter
This time zone converter works in two ways. Drag the marigold line across any coloured band and every city’s time changes together, so you can see at a glance who is at work, awake or asleep. Or type an exact date and time in the boxes above and pick the city it belongs to, and the time zone converter shows that moment in every other city, including the correct day.
The coloured bands follow each city’s real day: dark blue for night, pink for dawn, light blue for daytime and amber for evening. The “Everyone awake” strip turns orange when all your cities are between 8 AM and 10 PM, and green when everyone is also in working hours. Add family or office locations with “Add a city or country”; your list stays saved on this device.
India time vs the world, right now
The difference from IST changes when other countries move their clocks for daylight saving. India doesn’t, so these numbers shift twice a year. The table below updates itself.
| Place | Zone | Difference from IST | When it’s 9 AM in India | When it’s 9 PM in India |

Questions people ask
What is IST in GMT and UTC?
India Standard Time is UTC+5:30, all year. India doesn’t use daylight saving, so IST is always 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT/UTC.
How far behind is the USA from India?
New York is 9 h 30 min behind IST during US daylight time (mid-March to early November) and 10 h 30 min behind the rest of the year. California is 12 h 30 min behind in summer and 13 h 30 min behind in winter. In 2026, US clocks go back on Sunday, 1 November.
What’s the time difference between India and the UK?
London is 4 h 30 min behind IST during British Summer Time (late March to late October) and 5 h 30 min behind in winter. In 2026, UK clocks go back on Sunday, 25 October.
What’s a good time to call the USA from India?
Late evening in India works best. 8 to 10 PM IST is 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM in New York in winter (9:30–11:30 AM in summer), and early morning on the US West Coast. Drag the line in the board above to check your exact cities.
Is this time zone converter accurate when clocks change for daylight saving?
Yes. The time zone converter uses the official time zone rules built into your browser (the IANA time zone database), so it applies daylight-saving changes automatically for the date you pick. For example, a meeting at 9 AM New York time on 5 November 2026 correctly shows as 7:30 PM IST, after US clocks go back on 1 November.
Does this work for any city?
Yes. Use “Add a city or country” to add any city. Your list is saved in this browser, and the first city in the list is the home city the others are compared with. Click “make home” on any city to change it.
