A 4h 30m time gap separates New Delhi (UTC+5:30) and London (UTC+1). When you pick up your morning coffee in London, your counterpart in New Delhi is already deep into their afternoon. Getting a meeting right means understanding exactly where those working days intersect.
With 3h 30m of shared business hours, there's enough room for one focused daily meeting. The discipline is keeping it exactly that: focused. 4h 30m gaps don't forgive meeting sprawl — a 30-minute standup that runs to 45 minutes starts eating into someone's actual work time. Book it, timebox it, end it on schedule.
Recurring calendar invites for New Delhi–London meetings need a DST audit every year. If one city's clocks change before the other's, there's a window — sometimes three weeks, sometimes five — where the same calendar slot lands an hour earlier or later than intended. Always schedule with explicit timezone labels, not just clock times.
Add the rest of your team above and the planner scales to everyone at once. A three-city team spanning New Delhi, London, and a third timezone often has less overlap than any two-city pair in isolation — surfacing that constraint early prevents scheduling that works on paper but burns people out in practice.
New Delhi is UTC+5:30 and London is UTC+1, a difference of 4h 30m. This gap may shift by 1 hour during DST transitions.
The best meeting time is during the 3h 30m of shared business hours — typically 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM GMT+5:30.
Yes, partially. London observes daylight saving time; New Delhi does not. London's clocks change around March 29 and October 25, shifting the gap between the two cities by 1 hour for part of the year.
New Delhi and London share 3h 30m of business-hours overlap (assuming 9 AM–5 PM local time for both).
