Switzerland operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, moving to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. India uses India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. This means that cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad are typically 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of Switzerland during winter (CET), and 3 hours 30 minutes ahead during summer (CEST).
