A time zone converter shows the same moment in several cities at once. Pick a date and time, add the cities you work with, and Kalinga Times shows each local time with daylight saving applied for that exact date, starting from India (IST, UTC+5:30).
DST is applied for the date you pick, using your browser’s IANA time zone data. The link stores the date, time and cities in the address after #, so nothing is sent to our server.
Why the date matters
The gap between India and another city is not fixed when that city uses daylight saving. India stays at UTC+5:30 all year, but in 2026 the US moves its clocks on 8 March and 1 November and the UK and EU on 29 March and 25 October. Between 8 and 29 March, and between 25 October and 1 November, New York and London are one hour closer to each other than usual, so a meeting planned for “New York 9 am, London 2 pm” shifts by an hour for one side.
| City | Offset in January 2026 | Offset in July 2026 | India ahead by (Jan / Jul) |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York | UTC−5 (EST) | UTC−4 (EDT) | 10 h 30 / 9 h 30 |
| Chicago | UTC−6 (CST) | UTC−5 (CDT) | 11 h 30 / 10 h 30 |
| Los Angeles | UTC−8 (PST) | UTC−7 (PDT) | 13 h 30 / 12 h 30 |
| London | UTC+0 (GMT) | UTC+1 (BST) | 5 h 30 / 4 h 30 |
| Berlin | UTC+1 (CET) | UTC+2 (CEST) | 4 h 30 / 3 h 30 |
| Dubai | UTC+4 | UTC+4 | 1 h 30 / 1 h 30 |
| Singapore | UTC+8 | UTC+8 | India behind by 2 h 30 |
| Sydney | UTC+11 (AEDT) | UTC+10 (AEST) | India behind by 5 h 30 / 4 h 30 |
Offsets checked 9 October 2026 against the IANA time zone database. For a single pair with an office-hours table, use the ist to est converter.
How to use it
- Pick the date and time, and the zone that time is in (for example 10:00 in India).
- Add cities from the list; remove any with the small «remove» link.
- Press «Copy shareable link» to send the same view to a colleague; the link opens with your date, time and cities.
Finding a time that suits everyone
For India and the US east coast, office hours do not overlap; evenings in India (about 18:30–21:30 IST) meet New York mornings. India and London overlap in the Indian afternoon, India and Singapore in most of the Indian working day. Put the earliest and the latest city in the converter first, then add the rest.

FAQ
How do I convert time between several countries at once?
Enter the date and time in one zone, then add every city you need; the converter shows each local time for that date, with daylight saving applied.
Why is the difference with the US sometimes 9.5 hours and sometimes 10.5?
Because New York uses daylight saving and India does not: 9 h 30 min from March to November (EDT), 10 h 30 min in winter (EST).
Can I share a converted time?
Yes. «Copy shareable link» puts the date, time and cities in the link itself, so the other person sees the same view.
Which cities are not affected by daylight saving?
In the list, India, Dubai, Riyadh, Karachi, Dhaka, Kathmandu, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Perth and Moscow keep the same offset all year.
