About India Time
India Standard Time (IST) is the official time zone of India. It is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+05:30). India uses only one time zone across the entire country, even though it stretches across two geographical zones. The IST time is based on the 82.5°E longitude, which passes near Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh.
