Why the time difference exists
The clock in Dubai is anchored to UTC+4 standard time; Delhi works from UTC+5:30 standard time. The gap between them holds steady all year round. Geographically the two lie about 2,200 km apart, with Delhi to the east of Dubai.
Flying from Dubai to Delhi, your body clock shifts about 2 hours forward. In flying terms that's roughly 3½ hours in the air, give or take. A quick look at each side's working hours keeps meetings out of the middle of the night.
