New Delhi is an urban district of Delhi which serves as the capital of India and seat of all three branches of the Government of India. Although colloquially Delhi and New Delhi are used interchangeably to refer to the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT), these are two distinct entities, with New Delhi forming a small part of Delhi. The National Capital Region is a much larger entity comprising the entire NCT along with adjoining districts in neighboring states.

Time zone in New Delhi

The local standard in New Delhi is IST — UTC+05:30, or 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC. Systems that store time zones by name use Asia/Kolkata for this part of the world.

New Delhi does not change its clocks. The same UTC+05:30 offset holds in January and July, which makes it a stable anchor for recurring calls.
