Live current time in major cities worldwide. Pick a date/time and instantly see what hour it falls in elsewhere - perfect for scheduling international calls.
A world clock displays the current local time in multiple cities simultaneously, accounting for each region's UTC offset and daylight saving adjustments. India operates on Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 - one of only two time zones in the world with a 30-minute offset. This single time zone covers all 3.28 million square kilometres of India, making coordination with global partners a daily reality for millions of Indian professionals.
With India's IT and BPO sector employing over 5.4 million people and serving clients across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, understanding time zone differences is a core professional skill. IST sits conveniently between East Asian and European business hours, which partly explains why Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune became global tech hubs. Government competitive exams like UPSC and SSC also schedule interviews and result announcements using IST, while SEBI and NSE trade windows are anchored to market open at 9:15 AM IST.
This tool refreshes every second using your browser's JavaScript clock, ensuring accurate display without server round-trips. You can compare IST against New York (EST/EDT, UTC-5/-4), London (GMT/BST, UTC+0/+1), Dubai (GST, UTC+4), Singapore (SGT, UTC+8), and 80 other cities. Use it to schedule calls, plan international deliveries, or simply satisfy curiosity about what time it is on the other side of the world.
