What time is it in Indiana?

3:09:43AM

Eastern Standard TimeUTC-5America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Indiana observes Daylight Saving Time

Clocks go forward an hour on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November, so Indiana is on Eastern Daylight Time in summer and Eastern Standard Time in winter.

Most of Indiana is on Eastern Time. Counties in the north-west near Chicago and in the south-west near Evansville keep Central Time. Indiana only began observing DST statewide in 2006. The Indiana suburbs of Louisville — Jeffersonville, Clarksville and New Albany — fall inside that city’s zone.

When the clocks change — the next date, and every one to 2031.

Indiana spans 10 zones

Indiana cities on a different clock

Most of Indiana keeps one zone, but 18 cities do not. Each has its own page, because the answer there is genuinely different — everywhere else in the state the clock is the one above.
