How to convert time from Central European Time (CET) to India Standard Time (IST)
Converting between Central European Time (CET)
and India Standard Time (IST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from CET cities like Berlin, Paris, Rome, Madrid are 2 hour(s) apart to IST cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai, holiday schedules, and the basic
communication becomes a juggling act. To make it easier to
understand, we'll break down the process of converting time
between CET and IST
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding Central European Time and India Standard Time
Central European Time is UTC2, which means that the
local time in the Central European Time zone is 2
hours apart from UTC. India Standard Time is UTC5,
which means that the local time in the India Standard Time zone is 5 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from Central European Time to India Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Central European Time is UTC2 and India Standard Time is UTC5, the time difference is: 2 hour(s)
-
2 hours = Central European Time's difference from UTC 5 + (India Standard Time's difference from UTC 2
-
India Standard Time has 2 hour(s) difference Central European Time.
