About Durg Time Zone
Durg uses the IANA time zone name Asia/Kolkata, which is the standard time zone used across all of India. Its official offset is UTC+05:30, also known as Indian Standard Time (IST).

Durg is located in the state of Chhattisgarh in central India, and despite its inland position, its legal time is identical to the rest of the country. Durg does not observe daylight saving time, so the UTC offset remains +5 hours 30 minutes all year with no seasonal clock changes in March, October, or November.
