Daylight Saving Time: IST and GMT
India does not observe Daylight Saving Time. IST (UTC+5:30) is fixed year-round. India's unusual 30-minute offset was standardized in 1906 and applies to the entire country despite spanning nearly 30 degrees of longitude.
The UK observes BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Outside those dates the zone is GMT (UTC+0).
