Examples
On 7 October 2026, 9:00 am in India is:
| City | Time |
|---|---|
| Dubai | 7:30 am |
| Riyadh | 6:30 am |
| London | 4:30 am |
| New York | 11:30 pm the day before |
In December, after the UK and US clocks go back, the same 9:00 am in India is 3:30 am in London and 10:30 pm in New York.
Daylight saving time
The UK, Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand move their clocks forward in their summer, so the time difference with India and the Gulf changes twice a year. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Gulf countries don’t use daylight saving. The converter uses your browser’s up-to-date time zone data for the exact date you pick, so it gets this right automatically.
Half-hour time zones
India is UTC +5:30 and Nepal UTC +5:45, so differences with most countries include 30 or 45 minutes. India is 1:30 ahead of Dubai and Muscat, and 2:30 ahead of Riyadh, Doha and Kuwait.
Finding a good meeting time
Look for an hour that’s during working time in every city. Between India and the US East Coast, early morning in the US is evening in India; between the Gulf and London, late morning in London suits both.
For travel planning, count the days to your trip with days until, and reset your body clock with the sleep calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9 am IST in the UK and US?
On 7 October 2026, 9:00 am in India is 4:30 am in London and 11:30 pm the previous evening in New York. After the clocks change in winter, it’s 3:30 am in London and 10:30 pm in New York.
What is the time difference between India and the Gulf?
India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Dubai and Muscat, and 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Riyadh, Doha and Kuwait. None of these places use daylight saving.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. It uses your browser’s up-to-date time zone data for the date you choose, so a date in summer and one in winter can give different answers for London or New York.
Why does India have a half-hour offset?
India Standard Time is UTC +5:30, set halfway between the country’s east and west. Nepal (+5:45) and parts of Australia also use non-whole-hour offsets.
