Current Time in India

Time in India

India uses IST (UTC+5:30) for the locations in this directory.

India does not currently change this zone seasonally; its UTC offset remains fixed unless the law or time-zone database is updated.

Coverage Across India

The directory currently includes 22 cities in India. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.

Within this city set, Srinagar is the furthest north and Kochi the furthest south, a latitude span of about 24.1°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.

Ahmedabad and Guwahati are the east-west extremes represented here, about 19.2° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.
