UTC to IST Converter

It takes three quick steps:

1. Click the UTC field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
2. The matching IST time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
3. Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.

IST is 1 hour ahead of UTC. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 1 hour to get the other.

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.

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

For example, a 9:00 AM UTC 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.

The labels UTC 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.

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