About converting IST to SGT

India Standard Time (India) and Singapore Time (Singapore) are in different time zones, so a meeting, call or stream that's convenient in one may be early or late in the other. The clocks above update live and account for daylight saving automatically, so the time difference you see is the real one for today — not a fixed number that goes stale twice a year.

To plan across the two, type a time into the IST box (or tap a quick preset) and read the SGT equivalent, including a "next day" or "previous day" note when the conversion crosses midnight. For any other pair of zones or cities, use the full timezone converter.

IST vs SGT: the time difference through the year

The difference stays the same all year: SGT is 2 h 30 min ahead of IST.

Frequently asked questions

Enter a time in the IST box and the equivalent SGT time appears instantly, adjusted for the current offset between the two zones — including a note if it lands on the previous or next day.
