About India Standard Time (IST)
India Standard Time (IST, IANA: Asia/Kolkata) is the civil time of the Republic of India and Sri Lanka, set at UTC+5:30 — one of the world's most populous 30-minute-offset time zones. India does not observe Daylight Saving Time per the Government of India directive (a brief DST trial in 1942-1945 during WWII was discontinued; subsequent proposals from 2010-2017 were rejected by the Indian Government citing minimal energy savings + agricultural sector disruption). IST is defined as the local mean solar time at 82.5°E longitude (passing through Shankargarh fort in Uttar Pradesh, with the reference clock at the National Physical Laboratory in New Delhi per the Indian Institute of Astrophysics). The 30-minute offset is preserved because India's east-west extent (68°E to 97°E) spans ~28° of longitude — approximately 2 hours of solar time — and the central meridian is most representative for a single unified zone. IST serves approximately 1.4 billion people in India + 22 million in Sri Lanka (Sri Lanka observes SLST = UTC+5:30, identical to IST). Major cities: Mumbai (12.5M), Delhi (16.8M, NCR 29M), Bengaluru (8.4M), Hyderabad (10M), Chennai (7M), Kolkata (4.5M), Ahmedabad (5.5M), Pune (3.1M). Affects: BSE/NSE stock exchanges, IPL Indian Premier League cricket schedules.
About Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST, IANA: America/Los_Angeles) is the standard time zone for the US West Coast and Canadian westernmost provinces, set at UTC-8:00. PST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966; the region switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC-7:00) the rest of the year. PST is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada (most), British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and the Mexican states of Baja California Norte. Major cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Vancouver BC. PST is the time zone of US tech hubs (Silicon Valley, Seattle, Vancouver) — global software-release coordination, Big-Tech corporate-earnings calls, Hollywood production schedules, and NYSE/Nasdaq market hours (PST 06:30-13:00) all reference PST/PDT. Mexico abolished DST nationwide in 2022 except for border zones, complicating Baja conversions.
