GST (Gulf Standard Time) is 1 hour 30 minutes behind IST (Indian Standard Time). This means when it's 12:00 PM in Dubai (GST), it's 1:30 PM in Mumbai (IST).
The best time to call from GST to IST is between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM GST, which corresponds to 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM IST. This ensures both parties are within standard business hours.
No, neither GST nor IST observe Daylight Saving Time. The time difference remains constant at 1 hour 30 minutes throughout the year.
GST cities include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah in the UAE. IST cities include Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Chennai in India.
GST is UTC+4 and IST is UTC+5:30. India chose a half-hour offset to better align with solar time across the country, resulting in the 1.5-hour difference.
