About Secunderabad Time Zone
Secunderabad uses the Asia/Kolkata IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone for all of India. Its offset is UTC+5:30, commonly called Indian Standard Time (IST), and this offset remains the same throughout the year. India is one of the world’s major half-hour offset countries, so Secunderabad is not aligned to a whole-hour UTC difference like Dubai (UTC+4) or Bangkok (UTC+7).
Secunderabad is located in the state of Telangana in south-central India and forms part of the Hyderabad metropolitan area. Because India uses a single national time zone from east to west, Secunderabad shares the same clock time as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata, even though sunrise and sunset vary across the country. This consistency is important for national rail schedules, banking operations, stock market timing, and remote work coordination across Indian cities.
Secunderabad does not observe daylight saving time, so its local time never shifts in March, October, or November. That means the time difference between Secunderabad and cities in countries that do use DST changes seasonally: for example, the gap with London is 5 hours 30 minutes when the UK is on GMT and 4 hours 30 minutes when the UK is on BST, while the gap with New York is 10 hours 30 minutes during Eastern Standard Time and 9 hours 30 minutes during Eastern Daylight Time. For 2025, US daylight saving time runs from March 9, 2025 to November 2, 2025, and UK daylight saving time runs from March 30, 2025 to October 26, 2025.
