1 Answer

  1. India is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of London because of the Earth’s rotation and the division of time into time zones. India uses Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30. In contrast, London operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is UTC+0. Thus, when it is noon in London, it is 5:30 PM in India.
