London is useful for UK-based partners, Dubai for Gulf business links and travel routing, and New York for US clients who need to understand how far ahead Diphu is during Indian office hours.
Drag across the grid to compare a workable time window: Click Select if needed, then drag on Diphu’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM IST to create a purple highlighted range, and adjust it with the left or right handles if you want a narrower slot. That selection shows a practical overlap example: 9:00 AM in Diphu is 4:30 AM in London during UK winter or 5:30 AM during UK summer, 11:30 PM in New York during US Eastern Standard Time or 12:30 AM during Eastern Daylight Time, and 7:30 AM in Dubai, which quickly confirms whether a morning meeting in Diphu is realistic for overseas participants.
Export the selected time for real scheduling: Once the purple range is selected, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially helpful when sending a confirmed meeting slot to a distributed team, because an ICS file or Google Calendar link lets everyone see the appointment in their own local time automatically, while the share link is convenient for quick approval in email or chat.
About Diphu Time Zone
Diphu uses the Asia/Kolkata time zone, the standard time zone for all of India. Its offset is UTC+05:30, meaning local time in Diphu is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. India uses a single national time standard, so Diphu follows the same clock as major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Guwahati.
Diphu does not observe daylight saving time. The offset remains UTC+05:30 in January, June, and every other month, which makes scheduling with Diphu simpler than with places such as New York, London, or Sydney where offsets change seasonally. For example, Diphu stays fixed while New York shifts between UTC-5 and UTC-4, London between UTC+0 and UTC+1, and Sydney between UTC+10 and UTC+11.
Diphu is located in the state of Assam region/Northeast India context via Karbi Anglong district, in eastern India, geographically much farther east than India’s western cities even though the whole country uses one time zone. Nearby countries such as Bangladesh use UTC+06:00, which is 30 minutes ahead of Diphu, while Myanmar uses UTC+06:30, which is 1 hour ahead. This matters for cross-border business, regional transport planning, and understanding why sunrise and sunset in Northeast India occur earlier than in western parts of the country despite sharing the same official time.

Diphu is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead when New York is on EST (UTC-5) and 9 hours 30 minutes ahead when New York is on EDT (UTC-4), so 9:00 AM in Diphu corresponds to 10:30 PM or 11:30 PM in New York on the previous day.
