UTC+5:30 is an identifier for a time offset of 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.[1] Indian Standard Time, used in India, and Sri Lanka Standard Time, used in Sri Lanka, are based on this offset.[2][3] It has the second-largest population among time zones, after UTC+08:00.[4]

Nepal Standard Time used this offset until 1986, when it switched to UTC+5:45.[5]
