About time in Delhi
Use this Delhi clock to see India time clearly, including its half-hour UTC offset.
Delhi uses India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) throughout the year. This page formats the live display with the IANA timezone Asia/Kolkata.
India does not observe daylight saving time.
The half-hour offset is especially useful to keep visible beside Dubai, Dhaka, or Bangkok. Check the live date as well as the hour when locations may be on different calendar days.
Working across timezones
Delhi’s weekday overlaps with Dubai and Dhaka and reaches Europe during the Indian afternoon. Singapore and East Asia are later but still share several working hours. The half-hour offset matters: a meeting copied as a whole-hour conversion will be wrong, so keep the formatted local time visible.
Delhi uses UTC+5:30 all year. Its differences from other fixed Asian timezones stay stable, but gaps to Europe, North America, and daylight-saving parts of Australia shift when those places change their clocks.
Delhi: Many Cities and Centuries in One Place
Delhi feels like many cities layered together. Forts, tombs, old market lanes, planned government avenues, university neighborhoods, villages absorbed by urban growth, and new business districts all tell different parts of its story. Food is one of the easiest ways to explore that variety, from busy street stalls to regional cooking brought by families from across India. Delhi is also a center for national government, education, publishing, technology, retail, and the arts. Its energy can be intense, but gardens and historic courtyards offer welcome pauses.
Business-hours examples are orientation for ordinary weekday coordination, not a promise that a person, office, market, school, or public service will be available. Local holidays, flexible schedules, religious observances, remote-work policies, and individual routines can all change the useful overlap, so confirm the participants’ availability before fixing an important event.
Timezone rules are maintained outside this site and can change through government decisions or browser timezone-data updates. Timer on Screen formats the selected IANA timezone with the data available in the current browser. For travel, broadcasts, deadlines, or other consequential plans, verify the final date and time with the organizer or another authoritative source.
