About Nārāyanganj Time Zone
Nārāyanganj uses the IANA time zone Asia/Dhaka, which is the standard time zone for Bangladesh. Its standard offset is UTC+6:00, meaning local time in Nārāyanganj is six hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year.
Bangladesh does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Nārāyanganj stays on UTC+6 year-round.

Geographically, Nārāyanganj is part of the Dhaka metropolitan region in central Bangladesh, southeast of Dhaka proper, and shares the same national time as the rest of the country. Compared with neighboring time zones, Nārāyanganj is 30 minutes behind India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) when compared to Kolkata or New Delhi, 1 hour behind Thailand (UTC+7), and 2 hours behind Singapore and Hong Kong (UTC+8), which matters for regional supply-chain and trading coordination across South and Southeast Asia.
