Common Questions Answered
What is the time difference between Mumbai and New York?
Mumbai is 9.5 hours ahead of New York during Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and 10.5 hours ahead during Eastern Standard Time (EST). The difference changes seasonally.
Why does the time difference include a half-hour?
India uses UTC+5:30 instead of a full-hour offset to better align with solar time across its wide geographical span. This unique offset requires precise calculation tools.
How do DST changes affect Mumbai-New York scheduling?
New York observes DST while Mumbai does not. This means the time difference changes by one hour seasonally, which our tool automatically handles for accurate scheduling.
What are the best days for business calls between these cities?
Tuesday-Thursday typically work best. Avoid scheduling during major holidays in either country, and remember that time differences mean dates may change between locations.
