About Tura Time Zone
Tura uses the IANA time zone Asia/Kolkata, which is the standard time zone for all of India.

India does not observe daylight saving time, so the local time in Tura stays consistent throughout the year.
Tura is located in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India, near the border with Bangladesh. Even though northeastern India is geographically far east compared with western Indian cities such as Mumbai or Ahmedabad, Tura still follows the same national time standard as Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Chennai. This means sunrise and sunset can feel earlier in Tura than in many western parts of India, but the official clock time remains identical nationwide.
Compared with neighboring countries, Tura is 30 minutes behind Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and 30 minutes ahead of Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5).

For cross-border logistics, regional development work, and travel planning in South and Southeast Asia, this half-hour Indian offset is important because it does not align neatly with many full-hour time zones.
