About CET and IST

Time Difference

India Standard Time (IST) is 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Central European Time (CET). When it's 12:00 PM (noon) in Paris, Berlin, or Rome, it's 4:30 PM in Mumbai.

Best Time for Meetings

For meetings between Central Europe and India, the best overlap is typically between:

  • 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM CET (1:30 PM - 4:30 PM IST) - Europe morning / India afternoon
  • 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM CET (6:30 PM - 9:30 PM IST) - Europe afternoon / India evening

Daylight Saving Time

Central European countries observe daylight saving time (CEST - Central European Summer Time) from late March to late October, moving clocks 1 hour forward. India does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference changes to 3 hours and 30 minutes during CEST.

Countries in CET

CET is used in many European countries including: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Austria, Sweden, and more.
