Time in India
A reference hub for India time, major cities, and scheduling context around the UTC+5:30 offset.
India uses a half-hour offset and one national time standard. That makes it a common source of scheduling mistakes for teams who assume every timezone uses whole-hour steps.

When this hub is useful
- - Checking IST before global standups or support handoffs
- - Avoiding mistakes caused by dropping the 30-minute offset
- - Comparing major Indian cities inside one national time standard
What to watch
- - IST is UTC+5:30 all year and does not switch for daylight saving
- - Overlap with Europe is often workable, while overlap with North America is much thinner
- - Travel itineraries can go wrong when people round India time to the nearest hour
