About Dinapore Time Zone
Dinapore uses the Asia/Kolkata IANA time zone, which is the standard timezone used across all of India. Its offset is UTC+05:30, meaning local time in Dinapore is five hours and thirty minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. India uses a single national time standard, so Dinapore follows the same clock as major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Chennai.
Dinapore does not observe daylight saving time, so its UTC offset remains UTC+05:30 all year. This makes scheduling more predictable than in countries where clocks shift seasonally; however, the time difference between Dinapore and places like New York, London, and Sydney changes when those locations enter or leave DST. For example, Dinapore is usually 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of New York during US standard time and 9 hours 30 minutes ahead during US daylight time.
Geographically, Dinapore is in the state of Bihar, near Patna in eastern India, so it shares the same legal time as the rest of the country despite being far east of India’s western states such as Gujarat. Compared with neighboring regional time zones, Dinapore is 30 minutes behind Nepal Time (UTC+05:45), 30 minutes ahead of Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+05:00), and 1 hour behind Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+06:00). These nearby offsets matter for cross-border transport planning, regional trade communication, and coordinating teams across South Asia.
Dinapore City Details
Dinapore is a city in India with a population of 152,940, making it a significant urban center within the Patna region of Bihar. Its geographic coordinates are 25.63705° N, 85.04794° E, placing it in the eastern Gangetic plain, an area connected to major rail, road, and administrative networks in northern and eastern India.
The local currency is the Indian Rupee (INR), which is used for everyday payments, business transactions, salaries, and travel expenses throughout Dinapore and the rest of India. If you are calling Dinapore from abroad, the country dialing code is +91, which is the standard international prefix for reaching Indian landlines and mobile numbers.
Because Dinapore is part of the wider Patna urban area, its local time is especially relevant for government work, education, healthcare coordination, rail travel, and regional commerce. Anyone arranging interviews, vendor calls, field operations, or family travel to Bihar should use Dinapore’s local clock in Asia/Kolkata rather than assuming a whole-hour UTC offset, since India’s +5:30 offset often causes scheduling mistakes.
