UK Time to India Standard Time: live clocks, today's full conversion table, and the best hours to call. Daylight saving is handled automatically.
About GMT and IST
UK Time (GMT/BST) is used in London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Clocks shift to BST (British Summer Time) from late March to late October.
India Standard Time (IST) is used across all of India, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata. India does not observe daylight saving time.
Time difference between GMT and IST
IST is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT in winter (January) and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT in summer (July), because of daylight saving changes. The clocks and table above are computed live from the official IANA time zone database in your browser, so daylight saving transitions are always already included.

Best hours for meetings

Rows where one side is early morning or late evening are workable for a quick call; avoid rows where either side is in the middle of the night.
