Converting Coordinated Universal Time to India Standard Time
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and India Standard Time (IST) are separated by a 5 hours and 30 minutes time difference. IST is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of UTC. UTC is UTC+0, while IST is UTC+5:30, used in India, Sri Lanka.
When converting from UTC to IST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM UTC equals 2:30 PM IST, 12:00 PM noon UTC equals 5:30 PM IST, and 5:00 PM UTC equals 10:30 PM IST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across UTC and IST
For professionals scheduling meetings between UTC and IST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 5 hours and 30 minutes difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
UTC does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+0 year-round. IST does not observe DST, staying at UTC+5:30 year-round.
