Brasília Time is 8 hours 30 minutes behind

India Standard Time is on UTC+5:30 and Brasília Time is on UTC−3:00 right now. That gap holds all year, because both zones change their clocks together.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in New Delhi and one in São Paulo — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in New Delhi is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in São Paulo.

A note on IST: it can also mean Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1). This page means India Standard Time, which is what almost all searches for IST want.

India Standard Time (IST) is used in all of India and Sri Lanka, on a single UTC+5:30 offset with no daylight saving

Brasília Time (BRT) is used in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Brazil ended daylight saving in 2019.
