About the time in Delhi
Clocks in Delhi stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in India.
Around 11,034,555 people live in Delhi, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:53 and sunset at 06:55 local time, giving 13h 02m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (28.65, 77.23) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Delhi.
