Time in Bhopāl, India

Time zone: IST (UTC/GMT +05:30) — Asia/Kolkata

Bhopāl keeps IST (5 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC, UTC+05:30). Its database zone is Asia/Kolkata — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.

There is no daylight saving in Bhopāl. UTC+05:30 applies all year, so the offset never moves on this side — only the other party's clock changes.

With a population near 1,599,914, Bhopāl comes in 9th of the 429 India cities we list.

How Bhopāl lines up against other major centres at this moment — the numbers move when either side changes its clocks.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Bhopāl local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These India cities also use Asia/Kolkata, so their clocks read identically to Bhopāl at every moment of the year.
