Timezone converter

Convertidor de IST a EEST.

IST → EESTGap: -2h 30m5.5h 9-5 overlap

IST to EEST currently uses India Time in Asia/Kolkata and Eastern European Time in Africa/Cairo as the live reference pair, with a -2h 30m live gap. IST to EEST matters whenever Mumbai and Cairo need to coordinate across a -2h 30m gap. The IST side covers India and Israel, while EEST covers Egypt and Ukraine — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

Last updated Apr 26, 2026. Offset math, DST behavior, and city coverage on both sides are refreshed from the live timezone dataset during the page revalidation window.

How this is calculated

How we calculate this
The current offset for each abbreviation is resolved against the live IANA timezone rules. Conversion accounts for DST transitions on both sides, so the gap between IST and EEST can change by an hour twice a year.

Ambiguity note

IST is ambiguous in this dataset, so the live converter uses Asia/Kolkata as the busiest reference zone while the city list below shows the wider label family.

Pair context

IST (Mumbai, +05:30) to EEST (Cairo, +03:00) is currently a -2h 30m conversion. Live coverage on the IST side is anchored by Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad; the EEST side draws from Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, and Kyiv.

IST to EEST matters whenever Mumbai and Cairo need to coordinate across a -2h 30m gap. The IST side covers India and Israel, while EEST covers Egypt and Ukraine — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

This pair runs between Europe or Africa and Asia or the Pacific. With -2h 30m between them, the late European morning often catches the early Asian evening, which is the practical window for cross-region operations and travel planning.

EEST follows seasonal clock changes through Africa/Cairo, while IST stays on a fixed offset year-round. The result is a gap that quietly shifts by an hour twice a year — short by an hour in winter (or summer, depending on hemisphere) and back to normal afterwards.

IST and EEST sit 2h 30m apart, leaving a generous 5.5h of shared 9-to-5 time. With that much overlap, this pair behaves almost like a single workday, so meeting times are negotiable rather than forced into a narrow corner of the calendar.

Market coverage on both sides

IST coverage on this page is led by Mumbai, India, Delhi, India, Bengaluru, India, and Hyderabad, India, with 2 more in the live dataset. That mix is what makes IST feel anchored to South and Southeast Asian business hubs in practice rather than just an abbreviation on a chart.

EEST coverage is led by Cairo, Egypt, Alexandria, Egypt, Giza, Egypt, and Kyiv, Ukraine, with 2 more anchoring the wider label family. Combined with the IST side, this conversion ends up describing regional business coordination where the gap is small enough that meetings stay inside normal hours on both sides.

Operational notes

IST to EEST ranges from IST 9:00 AM (which lands at EEST 6:30 AM) through IST 9:00 PM (EEST 6:30 PM). The -2h 30m gap is small enough that IST mornings still reach EEST working hours, so most invites scheduled in IST land cleanly without confusing the EEST recipient.

EEST to IST ranges from EEST 9:00 AM (which lands at IST 11:30 AM) through EEST 9:00 PM (IST 11:30 PM). The -2h 30m gap is small enough that EEST mornings still reach IST working hours, so most invites scheduled in EEST land cleanly without confusing the IST recipient.

Overlap window and DST radar

The live gap is -2h 30m right now, based on Asia/Kolkata at +05:30 and Africa/Cairo at +03:00. Africa/Cairo changes offset on October 29, 2026, so the gap moves to -3h 30m after that transition.

The most usable workday block right now is about 5.5 hours: IST 11:30 AM previous day to 5:00 PM previous day, which lines up with EEST 9:00 AM previous day to 2:30 PM previous day.

Africa/Cairo changes from +02:00 (GMT+2) to +02:00 (GMT+2) on October 29, 2026 at about 11:15 PM.
