IST to CEST time conversion
The difference between IST and CEST is fixed: CEST is 3 hours 30 minutes behind IST. For example, 9:00 AM (09:00) IST is 05:30 CEST, and 6:00 PM (18:00) IST is 14:30 CEST. The chart above lists the conversion for every hour of the day.
These conversions use each zone's standard UTC offset — UTC+05:30 for IST (India Standard Time) and UTC+02:00 for CEST (Central European Summer Time) — so the result is exact and does not shift with Daylight Saving Time. To convert a real calendar date between cities with automatic DST handling, use the full time zone converter.
