About New Delhi
New Delhi is the capital of India and the seat of its parliament, president and central government ministries. Part of the wider Delhi metropolitan area, it is also a major gateway for visitors heading to the Taj Mahal in Agra and the cities of Rajasthan, so travellers and officials alike check the time here.
Delhi follows India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, with no daylight saving. A single time zone covers the entire country, so it is the same time in Delhi as in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. The half-hour offset means calls from Europe or North America need a little extra care: it is ten and a half hours ahead of New York in winter.
