What UTC and IST mean here

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the world's reference clock. It never changes for daylight saving time, so any change in the gap comes from the other zone moving its clocks. UTC is also written as "Z" or "Zulu" in aviation and military use, and for everyday purposes it is the same as GMT.

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.
