Time Difference Between USA and India

The standard time difference between the USA and India is 9.5 hours. This means when it's 12:00 PM in New York (Eastern Time), it's approximately 9:30 PM in India (IST).

However, this difference can vary by up to 1 hour due to daylight saving time in the USA. During daylight saving time (typically March to November), the USA is on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), etc., which is 1 hour ahead of standard time.

Note: Always verify the current time difference using this calculator as daylight saving time schedules can change.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

Daylight saving time (DST) affects the time difference between the USA and India:

When the USA is on daylight saving time (March to November), the time difference is 9.5 hours.
When the USA is on standard time (November to March), the time difference is 10.5 hours.

Our calculator automatically adjusts for daylight saving time in the USA, but you should confirm the current DST status for both countries.
