About Shikohābād Time Zone
Shikohābād uses the Asia/Kolkata IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone for all of India. Its offset is UTC+05:30, meaning local time in Shikohābād is five hours and thirty minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. India uses a single national time standard called Indian Standard Time (IST), so Shikohābād follows the same clock as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Chennai.
Shikohābād does not observe daylight saving time (DST). The clock does not move forward in spring or backward in autumn, so the UTC offset stays at UTC+05:30 throughout the year. This makes scheduling more predictable for recurring meetings, although the time difference with cities such as New York, London, and Sydney changes seasonally because those places may shift their clocks for DST.
