India is situated in South Asia. New Delhi is the capital of India. Despite having one of the biggest geographical expansions, India uses only a one-time zone. This is the second-largest country after China which uses only a one-time zone despite having notable time differences in different portions of it.
The time used in India is IST(Indian Standard Time) which is five & a half-hour ahead of UTC/GMT (i.e +5:30 hours UTC/GMT). This time is used all over India as standard time. Similar to China, Pakistan and all Asian Countries, India also does not follow the DST strategy for reducing energy consumption.
