About India Standard Time
India Standard Time is used in all of India, all year. The letters IST are also used for Irish Standard Time and Israel Standard Time, so it's worth checking which one is meant.
Daylight saving time
India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 all year. It does not change for daylight saving time, so its gap to places that do switch, like New York or London, changes by an hour twice a year.
