Why India uses a half-hour offset
IST at UTC+5:30 sits between whole-hour neighbours and covers the whole country on one clock. For international calls, the half hour is the detail people forget — a live page is safer than rounding.

Questions about Mumbai time & daylight
What time is it in Mumbai right now?
The live clock at the top of this page shows Mumbai local time and updates every second. It uses Asia/Kolkata at a constant UTC+5:30.
Does Mumbai observe daylight saving?
No. India has no daylight saving, so Mumbai stays at UTC+5:30 through the whole year. The Time zone card shows DST as not observed.
What time is sunrise and sunset in Mumbai today?
See the Daylight and Sunrise & sunset cards for today's exact times, solar noon, and day length. The outlook table lists upcoming and past dates as well.
How many hours ahead of London is Mumbai?
Five and a half hours in winter and four and a half during British Summer Time, because London moves and Mumbai does not. Your time vs Mumbai updates live from your device.
Is Mumbai time the same everywhere in India?
Yes. India uses a single time zone, so Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata read exactly the same clock as Mumbai.
Why is India on UTC+5:30 instead of a whole hour?
India Standard Time was set as a national compromise roughly midway across the subcontinent. The half-hour offset is permanent — there is no DST to "correct" it.
Can I compare Mumbai with Dubai or Singapore?
Yes. The Compare times strip shows live clocks for common peers. Add another city with the search box, or open the World Clock board.
Can I embed this Mumbai clock on my site?
Yes. Use the Embed this clock box on this page to copy the iframe or open it in a new tab. The widget shows live Mumbai time year-round — this zone does not use daylight saving. No account required.
