Time difference between Delhi and Madrid
Madrid is 3 hours 30 minutes behind Delhi
Delhi, India is UTC+5:30 · Madrid, Spain is UTC+1 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year

| Delhi / Madrid clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 3 hours 30 minutes behind | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 4 hours 30 minutes behind | about 22 weeks |
Delhi stays put all year while Madrid moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Madrid's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Delhi's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
