Time difference between Delhi and São Paulo

São Paulo is 8 hours 30 minutes behind Delhi

Delhi, India is UTC+5:30 · São Paulo, Brazil is UTC−3 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Delhi does not change its clocks and São Paulo does not change its clocks — so 8 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.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Delhi and nine-to-five in São Paulo do not overlap at all. With 8 hours 30 minutes between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
