Current time in New Delhi, India

This page is a live clock labelled New Delhi (IANA Asia/Kolkata). India uses one civil zone, so the offset matches Mumbai and Kolkata; the URL exists so you can send a Delhi-named link.

New Delhi stays on IST (UTC+5:30) with no daylight saving. Do not copy a “UTC+5” shortcut—the extra thirty minutes are why this clock is safer than mental math.

Keep the tab open for government or business hours in the capital. Use other Indian city pages for their names, and the world-clock hub for multi-country boards.
