Key facts
India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 all year. India doesn't use daylight saving.
The US and UK shift their clocks by an hour in summer, so the gap with IST changes during the year. In 2026, US daylight time runs from 8 March to 1 November, and UK summer time from 29 March to 25 October.
New York is 9:30 hours behind IST in summer and 10:30 hours behind in winter.
This converter uses your browser's up-to-date time-zone database, so daylight-saving changes are applied automatically for the date you pick.
