Daylight saving time and the AEST–IST difference
Sydney daylight saving time runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April (Queensland does not observe it). Because of this the AEST–IST difference is not fixed and changes during the year; the figures on this page are recalculated automatically for the current date. India Standard Time does not observe daylight saving time.
