New Delhi is the capital of India, with a population of about 317,797. It uses the India Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata).
New Delhi does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+5:30 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Note that New Delhi uses a non-whole-hour offset: local time differs from UTC by 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Because New Delhi lies at 28.62° N, 77.21° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 58 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 10 h 19 min.
