Current time in Kolkata, India

The clock on this URL is Kolkata local time (IANA Asia/Kolkata—the same zone India uses nationwide). It is a live city clock, not a Wikipedia article and not a 10-minute timer.

Kolkata uses India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) all year with no daylight saving. Beijing Time stays two hours thirty minutes ahead of this clock every day, which makes this page useful for stable outsourcing and travel math.

Keep the tab open during IST business hours. Mumbai and New Delhi share this zone; use those city URLs when you want their labels, and the world-clock hub when you need several countries at once.
