Kalinga Times (kalingatimes.com) is a set of time tools for India: an IST converter, a world clock and a meeting planner. Indian Standard Time stays at UTC+5:30 all year, while many partner countries change their clocks twice a year. It is written and maintained by the Kalinga Times editorial team.
What the site does
- IST converter for pairs such as IST to EST, PST, GMT, BST, AEST, SGT and GST, showing both the standard and daylight-saving offset where the other side changes its clocks.
- World clock with the current time in the cities Indian teams most often work with.
- Meeting planner that shows where working hours overlap between India and another time zone.
- Plain explanations of daylight saving time and why the gap between India and the US or UK changes during the year.
How we check what we publish
Time zone offsets and daylight-saving dates come from the IANA time zone database (tz database), the same data used by browsers and operating systems; the converters run in your browser on that data. Where a page states a switch date or offset, it gives the source and the date we checked it. Details are on our editorial policy page.
What we do not do
Kalinga Times does not report news, does not publish political content and does not publish posts promoting other websites. It is not the Odisha news portal that used this domain from about 2006 to 2016 and is not affiliated with its former owners or staff. No named expert stands behind the site; every page is written by the Kalinga Times editorial team.
About the domain name
From roughly 2006 to 2016 kalingatimes.com was a news portal from Odisha. The current site is a different project with a different purpose; old news articles are not carried over and we do not speak for the former publication.
About earlier content
Before 9 October 2026 the homepage showed a temporary converter built by another party. We are rebuilding the tools and pages using the method above; every changed page shows its update date.
