About IST to GST Conversion

Last updated: April 2026

Converting time between IST and GST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. IST (IST) operates at UTC+5, while GST (GST) is set to UTC+4. This means GST is 1.5 hours behind IST. For example, when it's 6:34 PM IST on May 5, 2026, it's 5:04 PM GST in GST. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in GST for any time in IST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
