About these time zones
Singapore Standard Time (SGT)
Singapore Standard Time (SGT) is UTC+8 all year. Singapore shares its offset with Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, China and Western Australia, and does not observe daylight saving time.
India Standard Time (IST)
India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30 and is used across all of India as a single time zone. India does not observe daylight saving time, so IST never changes — but its difference from places that do (like US Eastern Time) changes twice a year.
