What is NZST in IST?

India Standard Time is 7 hours 30 minutes behind

New Zealand Time is on UTC+13:00 and India Standard Time is on UTC+5:30 right now. New Zealand Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read NZDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

New Zealand Time and India Standard Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – April 4, 2027India Standard Time is 7 hours 30 minutes behind
  2. April 4, 2027 – September 26, 2027India Standard Time is 6 hours 30 minutes behind
  3. September 26, 2027 – onwardsIndia Standard Time is 7 hours 30 minutes behind

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

New Zealand Time

Sunday, April 4, 2027

Clocks go back one hour — 3:00 am becomes 2:00 am local time, and the zone is on NZST after that.

India Standard Time

No clock changes

India Standard Time stays on IST all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm NZDT, which is 9:30 am to 10:30 am IST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

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
