About Central Standard Time (CST)
Central Standard Time (CST, IANA: America/Chicago, America/Mexico_City) is the time zone for the US Central region, central Mexico, and most of Central America, set at UTC-6:00. CST is the most populous US time zone by area covered and serves the Chicago-Dallas-Houston-Minneapolis corridor of ~80 million people across CST states (Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee western, Kansas eastern, Nebraska eastern, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky western, Indiana western, Michigan UP, Florida panhandle) plus Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey since 2022 DST abolition), Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Belize. CST observes DST (switching to CDT = UTC-5:00) per Energy Policy Act 2005 — except for Mexico nationally, which abolished DST in 2022 except for border zones aligning with US DST. CST affects: NYSE close at 15:00 CST, CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) commodity futures pit/electronic hours, Texas Medical Center coordinated patient handoffs.
About Nepal Time (NPT)
Nepal Time (NPT, IANA: Asia/Kathmandu) is the civil time of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, set at UTC+5:45 — one of only three time zones in the world with a 45-minute offset (along with Chatham Islands New Zealand UTC+12:45 and Eucla Western Australia UTC+8:45). NPT does not observe Daylight Saving Time. The 45-minute offset is preserved because Nepal's central meridian (~86.5°E) is between India Standard Time (IST = UTC+5:30) and Bangladesh Standard Time (BST = UTC+6:00), and Nepal historically chose to set its civil time to the local mean solar time of the Gauri Shankar peak in eastern Nepal (a national symbolic-geography choice in 1986). The 45-minute offset has practical advantages — Nepal pilots' radio communications with regional ATC are easier to deconflict from Indian-airspace traffic clocked in IST. NPT serves approximately 30 million Nepalese people across 7 provinces. Major cities: Kathmandu (1M city, 2.7M metro — capital and gateway to Mount Everest), Pokhara (300K — gateway to Annapurna treks), Lalitpur (290K), Bharatpur (280K). Affects: Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) trading hours, Mount Everest spring-summit-window climbing-permit timings, Pashupatinath Temple cremation ceremony schedules.
