About converting SGT to IST

Singapore Time (Singapore) and India Standard Time (India) 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 SGT box (or tap a quick preset) and read the IST 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.

SGT vs IST: the time difference through the year

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

Daylight saving

Neither SGT nor IST uses daylight saving, so this conversion never changes.
