PST to IST converter

India is 12 hours 30 minutes ahead of the US west coast while it is on PDT and 13 hours 30 minutes ahead on PST. A 9:00 AM Pacific start is 9:30 PM in India during PDT.

Most people who search "PST" mean the local clock time on the US west coast. That clock is on PST (UTC-8) in winter and PDT (UTC-7) in summer; in 2026 PDT runs from March 8 until clocks go back on November 1. India has no daylight saving, so IST is UTC+5:30 all year. The converter above follows the real clock for the date you pick, so you do not have to remember which half of the year it is. The live line and the table use the same rules.

Because the gap is more than half a day, the date almost always changes. A Pacific afternoon is the next day in India, so read the line below the result before you send a date.

West coast and India teams usually meet at the start of the Pacific day: 7:00 to 9:00 AM Pacific during PDT is 7:30 to 9:30 PM in India. The 24-hour table shows which slots avoid the middle of the Indian night.
