Convert Central Time (CST) to India Standard Time (IST) in one place. This free converter shows the current time in both zones, lets you turn any CST time into the matching IST time, and includes a full conversion table for the day. Right now IST is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of CST. Central Time switches between Central Standard Time (CST) and Central Daylight Time (CDT) across daylight saving.
Because it reads live time zone rules, the offset stays correct through daylight saving changes on either side, so you never have to work the difference out by hand. It is handy for scheduling calls and meetings, catching a live stream or match, or keeping in touch with family and colleagues across the two regions.
