Sunrise & Sunset Times by City

Because India spans a wide geographical area from east to west, sunrise and sunset times vary significantly from city to city. Even though the entire country shares a single time zone (Indian Standard Time or IST), the physical sun reaches its highest point at different times depending on your location.

For example, on the summer solstice, Kolkata in the east gets sunrise around 4:50 AM, whereas Mumbai in the west experiences it more than an hour later, near 6:00 AM. Likewise, evenings draw in much earlier in the eastern states, which shapes daily work, farming, and lifestyle patterns.
