Bangalore to Sydney: time difference and meeting times
Everything you need to schedule between Bangalore and Sydney — the current offset, both cities' daylight saving dates, and the hour-by-hour overlap of their working days.
4 hours of full overlap. Both cities are inside normal working hours (09:00–17:59 local) at 04:00–08:00 UTC. Any hour in that range works for both sides without anyone starting early or finishing late.

Daylight saving
Bangalore does not observe daylight saving — this offset is fixed all year. Sydney next moves its clocks forward on 4 October 2026, to UTC+11.
This pair is not a whole number of hours apart
The offset between these two cities includes a half-hour component, so a meeting scheduled on the hour in one city always falls on the half hour in the other. Calendar software handles this correctly, but people converting in their heads routinely get it wrong by thirty minutes.
Only one side changes its clocks
Sydney observes daylight saving and Bangalore does not. The difference between these two cities is therefore not constant — it changes twice a year, entirely because of the Sydney side. A recurring meeting fixed to local time in Bangalore will appear to move by an hour in Sydney, and vice versa.
Scheduling across this corridor
India and Australia are separated by four to six hours depending on the season, which leaves the Indian morning overlapping the Australian afternoon. It is workable without anyone being seriously inconvenienced. India holds a fixed offset while Australia observes daylight saving, so the gap changes across the year, and the Indian half-hour offset means the two cities are never a whole number of hours apart.
About Bangalore
Bangalore shares India Standard Time with the rest of the country, five and a half hours ahead of UTC with no daylight saving. As India's largest technology centre it is probably the single most scheduled-against city on the offshore corridors, and the local working day has adapted: late-evening calls with North America are an established norm rather than an imposition.
About Sydney
Sydney observes daylight saving on the southern-hemisphere schedule, moving forward in October and back in April — the opposite of the northern hemisphere. For part of the year the two hemispheres are both on summer time, and the gap between Sydney and Europe or North America changes twice as much across the year as people expect. Australia is not a single timezone: the eastern states, South Australia and Western Australia all differ, and not all of them observe daylight saving.
