What Time Zone is India in?

India follows one time zone known as IST or Indian Standard Time. India does not observe Daylight Savings Time (DST) or any other seasonal adjustments.

Indian Standard Time (IST) = GMT +5:30

Using GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) we can calculate + or – the difference of IST to the various time zones of the world. India is 5 1/2 hours ahead of GMT. Tourists of India should calculate the time difference between India and their country prior to travel, as calls made in India during daylight hours may be received at home during awkward times.
