Stay Connected Across Time Zones
Travelling across countries often means keeping track of different time zones. Our World Clock helps you compare the current time in India with major cities around the world, making it easier to plan calls, flights, meetings and travel arrangements.
India Time Zone
India follows Indian Standard Time (IST) throughout the country.
Indian Standard Time: UTC +5:30
India does not currently observe daylight saving time, so the time difference with some countries may change when those countries switch between standard time and daylight saving time.

Planning a Call With India?
Best Time to Contact India
India is several hours ahead of Europe and Africa and considerably ahead of North America. When arranging calls with hotels, travel representatives or your Limitless India Vacations travel consultant, always check the current local time before calling.
A live World Clock can make this much easier, particularly because daylight-saving changes in other countries can affect the time difference with India.
Useful Time Zone Tips

Unlike some large countries, the whole of India officially follows the same time zone — IST.
No Daylight Saving in India
India does not change its clocks seasonally.
Flight Timings
Airline and railway schedules in India are normally displayed according to local Indian time.
