Converting GMT to IST, step by step

What is the time difference between GMT and IST?

IST is 1 hour ahead of GMT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 1 hour to get the other — so a call between London (winter) and Dublin is always 1 hour apart.

What time is it in IST right now?

Right now the time in Irish Standard Time (IST) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 6:53:55 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live IST clock.

What time is it in GMT right now?

And in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 5:53:55 PM. Compare the two and the 1 hour gap is easy to see.

What's the best time for a GMT–IST call?

For example, a 9:00 AM GMT meeting takes place at 10:00 AM 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.

How does daylight saving affect GMT to IST?

The labels GMT 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.

Why can you trust this GMT to IST converter?

Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so GMT to IST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Frequently asked questions

How many hours ahead of GMT is IST?

IST is 1 hour ahead of GMT — a fixed 1 hour difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.

What time is it in IST when it's 12:00 PM GMT?

When it's 12:00 PM (noon) GMT, it's 1:00 PM IST.

Do GMT or IST use daylight saving time?

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a fixed offset with no daylight saving; Irish Standard Time (IST) observes daylight saving, alternating with GMT.

Why might the real-world GMT–IST difference change during the year?

The labels GMT and IST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Irish Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want GMT to GMT. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
