IST to EST — India to New York time
India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30 and never changes. US Eastern Time is EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, so the gap between India and New York shifts by one hour across the year.

Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between IST and EST?
IST (UTC+5:30) is 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard Time, and 9.5 hours ahead during US daylight saving (EDT). India does not observe DST, so only the US side changes.
What time is 9 AM EST in India?
9:00 AM EST is 7:30 PM IST the same day. During US daylight saving (EDT), 9:00 AM is 6:30 PM IST.
Does India observe daylight saving time?
No. India uses a single fixed zone (IST, UTC+5:30) all year, so the India–US difference only shifts when the US changes its clocks.
