Right now the time in India Standard Time (IST) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 11:24:01 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live IST clock.

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 IDT to IST?

The labels IDT 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 IDT 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 IDT to IST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.
