This SGT to IST converter turns any time in Singapore Time (SGT) into India Standard Time (IST), using your device clock so daylight saving is applied automatically. IST is 2 hours 30 minutes behind SGT. SGT is UTC+8; IST is UTC+5:30.
SGT covers Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (MYT), Manila (PHT); IST covers Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru. 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 SGT and IST?
IST is 2 hours 30 minutes behind SGT. That comes from the UTC offsets: SGT is UTC+8 and IST is UTC+5:30. For example, 9 am SGT = 6:30 am IST.
Is IST ahead of or behind SGT?
IST is 2 hours 30 minutes behind SGT, so when it is noon in SGT it is 9:30 am in IST. Ahead means the clock there already shows a later time; a call at 5 pm SGT lands at 2:30 pm IST.
Does SGT or IST observe daylight saving time in 2026?
No. Neither SGT nor IST changes its clocks, so the 2 hours 30 minutes difference holds every day of the year. That makes recurring meetings between Singapore and Mumbai easy to keep at a fixed local time on both ends.
What is the best time for a meeting between SGT and IST?
Standard office hours (9 am to 5 pm) overlap from 11.5 am to 5 pm SGT, which is 9 am to 2.5 pm IST. 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 SGT and IST?
SGT (Singapore Time) is used in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (MYT), Manila (PHT). IST (India Standard Time) is used in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata. Some cities inside a zone skip daylight saving, noted in parentheses, so their offset matches only part of the year.
