How many hours is India time ahead of eastern time?

Answer 1

The difference is ten hours and thirty minutes when calculating from standard time in Jamaica; there is presently no DST there. The time in India is GMT plus 5:30 and there is no DST in India. This may seem odd, but there is no international law requiring countries to follow the standard defined time zones. Each country is free to determine what time makes most sense for their own practices. This is particularly important for countries that span more than one standard zone, as does India. The standard time in Jamaica is GMT -5:00, and the standard time in India is GMT +5:30.

Answer 2

U.S. Eastern Time is GMT-05:00 in winter (Eastern Standard Time) and GMT-04:00 in summer (Eastern Daylight Time). Indian Standard Time is GMT+05:30, year round.

Thus, India is 10½ hours ahead of EST and 9½ hours ahead of EDT.

Answer 3

Goa, India is in the IST (UTC+5.30) timezone. This is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT.

Answer 4

Goa, India, is 5.5 hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) zone. The Coordinated Universal Time offset for Goa is UTC+5:30 hours. Goa does not observe daylight savings time.
