Good to know about the time in India

India uses Indian Standard Time, UTC+5:30, all year round and across the whole country, with no daylight saving time. The half-hour offset comes from the reference meridian, at 82.5 degrees east, halfway between two time zones. India is 4 h 30 min ahead of France in winter and 3 h 30 min ahead in summer. France – India time difference

This has not always been the case: Kolkata kept its own time until 1948, and Mumbai until 1955. The North-East still calls for a time of its own: the sun rises there nearly two hours earlier than in Gujarat, at the other end of the country.
