Timezone converter
WEST to IST currently uses Western European Time in Africa/Casablanca and India Time in Asia/Kolkata as the live reference pair, with a +4h 30m live gap. WEST to IST matters whenever Casablanca and Mumbai need to coordinate across a +4h 30m gap. The WEST side covers Morocco and Portugal, 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.
WEST (Casablanca, +01:00) to IST (Mumbai, +05:30) is currently a +4h 30m conversion. Live coverage on the WEST side is anchored by Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, and Tangier; the IST side draws from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
WEST to IST matters whenever Casablanca and Mumbai need to coordinate across a +4h 30m gap. The WEST side covers Morocco and Portugal, 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 runs between Europe or Africa and Asia or the Pacific. With +4h 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.
WEST follows seasonal clock changes through Africa/Casablanca, 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.
WEST and IST sit 4h 30m apart, with about 3.5h of shared 9-to-5 time. That is enough room for one daily standup plus one focused working session, which is what most cross-region teams actually use this overlap for.
WEST coverage on this page is led by Casablanca, Morocco, Rabat, Morocco, Fes, Morocco, and Tangier, Morocco, with 2 more in the live dataset. That mix is what makes WEST feel anchored to African business hubs 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 WEST side, this conversion ends up describing cross-region coordination that uses the morning-on-one-side, afternoon-on-the-other window for live work.
