India operates on India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. The United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) from late March to late October. This means that London and Manchester are typically 5 hours and 30 minutes behind India during UK winter (for example, when it is 18:00 in India, it is 12:30 in the United Kingdom), and 4 hours and 30 minutes behind India during UK summer time.
