Time difference between Delhi and Nairobi

Nairobi is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Delhi

Delhi, India is UTC+5:30 · Nairobi, Kenya is UTC+3 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Delhi does not change its clocks and Nairobi does not change its clocks — so 2 hours 30 minutes is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
