Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 06:52 local time, giving 12h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (28.62, 77.21) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in New Delhi.
Around 142,004 people live in New 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.
Clocks in New 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.
