About MDT to IST Conversion

Converting time between MST and IST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. MST (MDT) operates at UTC-7, while IST (IST) is set to UTC+5. This means IST is 12.5 hours ahead MST. Note that due to the time difference, the date may change. When it's 7:12 PM MDT on February 3, 2026, it's 7:42 AM IST on February 4, 2026 in IST. America/Denver observes daylight saving time, switching between MST (UTC-7) and MDT (UTC-6), while Asia/Kolkata does not observe daylight saving time. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in IST for any time in MST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
