CET to IST time difference
IST is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of CET for most of 2026, and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of CET for about 155 days, because daylight saving time changes on different dates.
In 2026, Central European Time switches to CEST on March 29 and back to CET on October 25. India Standard Time does not use daylight saving time.
