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 Western European Time (WET)
Western European Time (WET, IANA: Europe/Lisbon, Atlantic/Faroe) is the civil time during winter for Portugal mainland (excluding the Azores), the Canary Islands (Spain), the Faroe Islands (Denmark), and Iceland uses WET-equivalent year-round (no DST in Iceland). WET is set at UTC+0 — the same offset as GMT — but the distinction is that GMT refers specifically to the time at the Greenwich Observatory while WET is the formal civil-time designation in continental Western European countries. WET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to WEST — Western European Summer Time = UTC+1) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The Azores archipelago (Portuguese Atlantic territory) is one hour behind mainland Portugal at AZOT = UTC-1:00 (winter) / AZOST = UTC+0:00 (summer). WET serves approximately 17 million people. Major cities: Lisbon (550K city, 2.9M metro), Porto (240K), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (380K), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (220K), Reykjavík (130K — Iceland on WET-equivalent), Tórshavn Faroe (13K).
