Understanding the Delhi – Rome Time Difference
Delhi runs on Asia/Kolkata, currently IST (UTC+5:30). Rome runs on Europe/Rome, currently CEST (UTC+2:00). The gap of 3 hours and 30 minutes is simply the distance between those two offsets.
Rome observes Daylight Saving Time and Delhi does not, so the gap between them shifts by an hour twice a year. The next shift is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when Rome adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 4 hours and 30 minutes. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
