GST to IST Converter
Gulf Standard Time to India Standard Time: live clocks, today's full conversion table, and the best hours to call. Daylight saving is handled automatically.
About GST and IST
Gulf Standard Time (GST) is used in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat. The Gulf does not observe daylight saving time.
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 GST and IST
IST is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of GST throughout the year. 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
Scan the table for rows where both sides land inside working hours (9:00 to 18:00). 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. To line up three or more cities at once, use the time zone converter and meeting planner.
