About the time in Delhi

Delhi is a city in India. It uses the Asia/Kolkata time zone, which is currently UTC+5:30 — that is, +5:30 hours from Coordinated Universal Time. Delhi does not observe daylight saving time, so its UTC offset stays the same all year.

Compared with other major cities right now, Delhi is 9.5 hours ahead of New York and 4.5 hours ahead of London. The table above updates live, so the differences you see always reflect current daylight saving rules on both sides.
