Why Mexico City has its own time

Mexico spans 6 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Mexico City covers Central Mexico and is on the same clock as Mexico City, though the two are separate zones in the IANA database and can diverge when daylight saving rules differ.

Mexico City does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
