Daylight saving time
Amritsar does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year. That makes the gap to places that do switch, like New York or London, change by an hour twice a year.
Good to know
All of India runs on a single time zone, India Standard Time, at UTC+5:30. The half-hour offset means India sits 30 minutes off from most of its neighbours, and the country does not use daylight saving time.
