What is the time difference between AKDT and IST?
IST is 13 hours and 30 minutes ahead of AKDT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 13 hours 30 min to get the other — so a call between Anchorage and Mumbai is always 13 hours 30 min apart.
What's the current time in IST?
Right now the time in India Standard Time (IST) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 11:23:57 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live IST clock.
And what time is it in AKDT?
And in Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 9:53:57 AM. Compare the two and the 13 hours 30 min gap is easy to see.
When is a good time to schedule a AKDT to IST meeting?
For example, a 9:00 AM AKDT meeting takes place at 10:30 PM IST. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
Does daylight saving time change the AKDT–IST difference?
The labels AKDT and IST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.
How accurate is this AKDT to IST conversion?
We don’t guess. AKDT and IST times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours ahead of AKDT is IST?
IST is 13 hours and 30 minutes ahead of AKDT — a fixed 13 hours and 30 minutes difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.
What time is it in IST when it's 12:00 PM AKDT?
When it's 12:00 PM (noon) AKDT, it's 1:30 AM IST the next day.
Do AKDT or IST use daylight saving time?
Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT) observes daylight saving, alternating with AKST; India Standard Time (IST) is a fixed offset with no daylight saving.
Why might the real-world AKDT–IST difference change during the year?
The labels AKDT and IST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Alaska Daylight Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want AKST to IST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
