London and India time zones

BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1) is the UK's summer time, used from March 29 to October 25, 2026. Outside those dates the UK is on GMT (UTC+0). This page follows the clock in London, so on a winter date it converts from GMT; the result is the real UK time either way.

IST here means India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, used across all of India with no daylight saving time. The half hour means India is never a whole number of hours away from the US or UK. IST is also used for Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) and Irish Standard Time (Ireland's summer time, UTC+1); to convert those, search for Tel Aviv or Dublin.

Questions

What is the time difference between London and India?

India is 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of London from March 29 to October 25, and 5 hours 30 minutes ahead the rest of 2026.

What time is it in India when it's 9 AM in London?

Until March 28, 2027, 9:00 AM in London is 2:30 PM in India, noon in London is 5:30 PM in India, and 5:00 PM in London is 10:30 PM in India.

When do working hours overlap?

Until March 28, 2027, 3 hours of a 9-to-5 day overlap: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in London is 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM in India.

Why is the difference not a whole number of hours?

India Standard Time is UTC+5:30, half an hour off the usual hourly zones. India doesn't use daylight saving time, so the gap to the US or Europe changes only when the other side changes its clocks.
