This IST to SGT converter turns any time in India Standard Time (IST) into Singapore Time (SGT), using your device clock so daylight saving is applied automatically. SGT is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of IST. IST is UTC+5:30; SGT is UTC+8.
IST covers Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru; SGT covers Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (MYT), Manila (PHT). Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the difference is the same every day of the year.

Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between IST and SGT?
SGT is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of IST. That comes from the UTC offsets: IST is UTC+5:30 and SGT is UTC+8. For example, 9 am IST = 11:30 am SGT.
Is SGT ahead of or behind IST?
SGT is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of IST, so when it is noon in IST it is 2:30 pm in SGT. Ahead means the clock there already shows a later time; a call at 5 pm IST lands at 7:30 pm SGT.
Does IST or SGT observe daylight saving time in 2026?
No. Neither IST nor SGT changes its clocks, so the 2 hours 30 minutes difference holds every day of the year. That makes recurring meetings between Mumbai and Singapore easy to keep at a fixed local time on both ends.
What is the best time for a meeting between IST and SGT?
Standard office hours (9 am to 5 pm) overlap from 9 am to 2.5 pm IST, which is 11.5 am to 5 pm SGT. Pick a slot inside that window and both sides stay within a normal working day. Check the daylight saving dates above, because the window moves by an hour when only one side has changed clocks.
Which cities use IST and SGT?
IST (India Standard Time) is used in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata. SGT (Singapore Time) is used in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (MYT), Manila (PHT). Some cities inside a zone skip daylight saving, noted in parentheses, so their offset matches only part of the year.
