India stays on India Standard Time (IST) all year and does not change clocks. London uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in winter and British Summer Time (BST) in summer. As a result, 5 PM IST is 11:30 AM GMT in London during winter and 12:30 PM BST during summer. Recheck the selected date for meetings near the March and October clock changes.
FAQ
What time is 5 PM IST in the UK?
5 PM India Standard Time is 11:30 AM in London when the UK observes GMT and 12:30 PM when it observes BST. India remains on IST throughout the year, so choose the meeting date to confirm whether London is on winter or summer time.
Is 5 PM IST a good time for an India-UK meeting?
Usually, yes. At 5 PM IST, London is at 11:30 AM during GMT or 12:30 PM during BST. That places the call near the end of the India workday and comfortably within the London workday for most India-UK meetings.
Why does an IST conversion end in :30?
IST is UTC+5:30, so India is offset from UTC by five hours and thirty minutes rather than a whole number of hours. When 5 PM IST is converted to London time, that half-hour offset produces results such as 11:30 AM GMT or 12:30 PM BST.
Will a weekly 5 PM IST meeting move in London?
Yes. India stays on IST all year, but London changes between GMT and BST, so a fixed weekly 5 PM IST meeting moves between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM in London. Recheck the UK changeover date for recurring meetings near March and October.
Can I compare more cities?
