Daylight saving time note
Toronto and Delhi do not change their clocks on the same date. Between November 1, 2026 and March 14, 2027 the difference is 10 hours and 30 minutes behind Delhi — because Toronto changes its clocks for daylight saving time while Delhi keeps the same time all year.
For the rest of the year the difference holds steady at 9 hours and 30 minutes. Every time on this page is computed from the IANA database at the moment you load it, so the tables above already account for whichever side has switched.
Why the time difference exists
The clock in Toronto is anchored to UTC-5 standard time; Delhi works from UTC+5:30 standard time. Toronto moves its clocks for daylight saving time while Delhi keeps the same time all year, so the gap widens and narrows by an hour with the seasons. Geographically the two lie about 11,600 km apart, with Delhi to the north of Toronto.
Flying from Toronto to Delhi, your body clock shifts about 11 hours forward. In flying terms that's roughly 14½ 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.
