IST to PST converter
PST is 12.5 hours behind IST right now. India Standard Time is the clock in New Delhi; Pacific Time is the clock in Los Angeles.
Why the gap changes
India stays on one offset all year while California observes daylight saving, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year. India’s working day and the Pacific working day barely touch, which is why India–West Coast teams lean on early-morning or late-night calls.
Over the next 12 months the difference is 12.5 hours or 13.5 hours, depending on the date. The table and the converter always use the date you pick. See EST vs EDT for why the abbreviations change.
