How to Convert Singapore Time to IST
Subtract 2 hours 30 minutes from Singapore Time (SGT) to get India Standard Time (IST). For example, 9:00 AM SGT is 6:30 AM IST and 3:00 PM SGT is 12:30 PM IST. Singapore Time is UTC+8 and India Standard Time is UTC+5:30. Because neither location observes daylight saving time, the difference remains fixed throughout the year.
