What is 8 AM PDT in IST?
8 AM PDT = 8:30 PM IST (20:30). On today's live calendar that lands on Sun, Apr 26 in IST, which means the answer is a same day conversion rather than a static offset lookup.
Timezone converter
PDT to IST currently uses Pacific Time in America/Los_Angeles and India Time in Asia/Kolkata as the live reference pair, with a +12h 30m live gap. PDT to IST matters whenever Los Angeles and Mumbai need to coordinate across a +12h 30m gap. The PDT side covers United States and Mexico, while IST covers India and Israel — 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.
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.

Based on the busiest city and zone usage found in the current dataset.
PDT (Los Angeles, -07:00) to IST (Mumbai, +05:30) is currently a +12h 30m conversion. Live coverage on the PDT side is anchored by Los Angeles, Tijuana, San Diego, and Mexicali; the IST side draws from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
PDT to IST matters whenever Los Angeles and Mumbai need to coordinate across a +12h 30m gap. The PDT side covers United States and Mexico, while IST covers India and Israel — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.
This pair is trans-Pacific, with one side in the Americas and the other in Asia or Oceania. The +12h 30m gap is large enough that morning on one side reliably overlaps evening on the other, which is why this conversion mostly serves global supply chains, gaming launch schedules, and follow-the-sun engineering.
PDT follows seasonal clock changes through America/Los_Angeles, while IST stays on a fixed offset year-round. That asymmetry is the real differentiator on this page: the gap widens or narrows by an hour twice a year, so calendar invites scheduled in one season often look wrong in the other.
PDT and IST sit 12h 30m apart, which leaves no shared 9-to-5 block. Live meetings have to bend one side's day, so most teams settle for one of two narrow windows: very early on the late side, or very late on the early side. That makes async messages, recorded standups, and clear handoff notes more valuable than calendar invites.
PDT coverage on this page is led by Los Angeles, United States, Tijuana, Mexico, San Diego, United States, and Mexicali, Mexico, with 2 more in the live dataset. That mix is what makes PDT feel anchored to West Coast and Pacific-edge American activity in practice rather than just an abbreviation on a chart.
IST coverage is led by Mumbai, India, Delhi, India, Bengaluru, India, and Hyderabad, India, with 2 more anchoring the wider label family. Combined with the PDT side, this conversion ends up describing trans-Pacific outsourcing handoffs, gaming and entertainment release windows, and follow-the-sun engineering rotations.

PDT to IST ranges from PDT 9:00 AM (which lands at IST 9:30 PM) through PDT 9:00 PM (IST 9:30 AM). Most of those slots fall on a different calendar day on the IST side, which is why this direction always needs explicit dates in invites and ticket comments — the time alone is not enough.
IST to PDT ranges from IST 9:00 AM (which lands at PDT 8:30 PM) through IST 9:00 PM (PDT 8:30 AM). With no clean 9-to-5 overlap between IST and PDT, both ends of this range push outside standard hours — useful for recorded standups and async work, awkward for live calls.
These direct answers are here for the exact-intent searches people actually use, like “10 AM PDT to IST” or “4 PM PDT in IST”.

The live gap is +12h 30m right now, based on America/Los_Angeles at -07:00 and Asia/Kolkata at +05:30. America/Los_Angeles changes offset on November 1, 2026, so the gap moves to +13h 30m after that transition.
There is no strict 9 AM to 5 PM overlap right now, so this pair is better for handoffs, travel planning, or async coordination than for midday meetings.
