★ TIME & DATE · WORLD CLOCK · INDIA
Noon on January 15, 2027 in New Delhi is 06:30 UTC, 01:30 EST, and 22:30 PST the day before. Enter any New Delhi date and time to see the matching time — and date — in UTC and every US zone.
New Delhi runs on India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, all year, with no daylight saving ever. That fixed offset makes the conversion simple — but the US side moves twice a year, and late-night Delhi times land on the previous day in the Americas. This converter shows the date beside every zone so a meeting is never booked on the wrong day.
India has kept a single time zone since independence, and it has never observed daylight saving: India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 in January and in July alike. That half-hour offset is the part people get wrong — most world zones sit on whole hours from UTC, so anyone converting in their head and subtracting five hours lands thirty minutes out. The other trap is on the US side, which does move: Eastern time is UTC-5 in winter (EST) and UTC-4 in summer (EDT), so the same noon in Delhi is 01:30 in New York in January but 02:30 in July. The converter handles both sides automatically, using the real calendar rules rather than a fixed offset.
New Delhi is India's seat of government, so this converter is built for official business first: ministries, embassies, regulators, and the courts all run on IST, and their working day is roughly 09:30 to 18:00 Delhi time. That window is 04:00 to 12:30 UTC, which means it overlaps the US East Coast morning only at its tail — 09:30 Delhi time is 04:00 UTC, or 23:00 EST the previous night in winter, while 18:00 Delhi time is 12:30 UTC, or 07:30 EST. In practice, the workable overlap for a live call between New Delhi and Washington is a narrow late-evening Delhi slot: 19:00 to 21:30 IST is 08:30 to 11:00 EST in winter. If you are filing a document with a Delhi deadline, confirm whether the deadline is IST or your own local time — a midnight IST filing deadline is 13:30 EST the previous day in winter, and missing that date flip is the most common costly mistake.
| Output | Formula | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| UTC time | IST − 5 hours 30 minutes | 12:00 IST − 5:30 = 06:30 UTC, every day of the year. |
| Eastern (January) | UTC − 5 hours (EST) | 06:30 UTC − 5:00 = 01:30 EST, Jan 15. |
| Eastern (July) | UTC − 4 hours (EDT) | 06:30 UTC − 4:00 = 02:30 EDT, Jul 15. |
| Pacific (January) | UTC − 8 hours (PST) | 06:30 UTC − 8:00 = 22:30 PST, Jan 14 — the previous day. |
| Hawaii | UTC − 10 hours (HST) | 06:30 UTC − 10:00 = 20:30 HST, Jan 14 — no daylight saving in Hawaii either. |
Conversions use the standard international time-zone database through the browser, so they follow the real daylight-saving rules for each US zone on the date you enter, including the March and November transitions. Two cautions remain. First, the abbreviation IST is shared: Irish Standard Time is also called IST, but it is Ireland's summer time (UTC+1), not India's — if a document says IST in an Irish context, it means something else entirely. Second, the date shown beside each zone is the date in that zone, not the date you entered: a late-evening Delhi time is the previous day across the Americas, and an early-morning Delhi time can be the same day everywhere. Always read the date column before you send an invitation.
Bright Side Kit. "New Delhi Time Converter: IST to UTC and US Time Zones." https://brightoolbox.com/new-delhi-time-converter/ Accessed October 24, 2026.India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 all year. New Delhi has never observed daylight saving, so the offset never changes.
In winter, noon IST on January 15, 2027 is 01:30 EST the same day. In summer, noon IST on July 15, 2027 is 02:30 EDT, because Eastern time moves forward an hour for daylight saving while Delhi does not.
Because Delhi is 10.5 hours ahead of Eastern time in winter and 13.5 hours ahead of Pacific time, a Delhi time before about midday is still the previous day in the western US. The converter shows the date beside every zone for exactly this reason.
Both, which is the trap: IST usually means India Standard Time (UTC+5:30, year-round), but in Ireland IST means Irish Standard Time, the summer clock (UTC+1). Check the context — an Irish IST date in July is not an Indian IST date.
No, never. India has a single time zone and no daylight saving, so a Delhi time converts the same way in January and July; only the US side of the conversion moves.
Roughly 09:30 to 18:00 IST for ministries and most offices. That is 04:00 to 12:30 UTC, so the live-call overlap with the US East Coast is narrow — late evening in Delhi is morning in New York.
In winter, 19:00 IST is 08:30 EST the same day (13:30 UTC minus 5 hours). In summer it is 09:30 EDT. Evening in Delhi is the most practical window for a US East Coast call.
15.5 hours: noon IST is 20:30 HST the previous day, all year, because neither India nor Hawaii observes daylight saving. A Monday noon in Delhi is still Sunday evening in Honolulu.
