How Seasons Change Sunrise & Sunset in India

India follows the northern seasonal clock: longest days around 21 June, shortest around 21 December. At the New Delhi reference in 2026, June 21 sunrise is 05:25 AM and sunset 07:22 PM (13h 57m); December 21 is 07:09 AM / 05:28 PM (10h 19m).

India keeps a fixed civil offset year-round, so clocks do not jump in spring or autumn. Seasonal sunrise changes come from Earth's tilt and orbit, not from Daylight Saving Time.

Latitude still sets day length. In June, Chandigarh (30.7° ) has 14h 7m of daylight versus 12h 42m in Kochi (9.9°). In December those figures are 10h 10m and 11h 32m.

Listed cities share one civil timezone, but they still span about 20° of longitude (~79 minutes of true solar time). On 21 June, Kolkata sunrise is 04:53 AM while Ghuar Mota is 06:09 AM on the same clock.

India’s distinctive solar fact is not DST (there is none) but one IST clock across nearly 30° of longitude. Kolkata prints an earlier sunrise than Ghuar Mota on the same date because both use Asia/Kolkata.

North–south latitude still changes day length: Delhi notices winter in a way Kochi barely does. Unpack the clock gap in why Kolkata sunrise is earlier than Mumbai and the metro tables in sunrise times in India.

During the summer solstice in June, New Delhi experiences about 13 hours and 58 minutes of daylight.
Kolkata sits near 88.4°E while Mumbai sits near 72.9°E. Both use IST, so Kolkata’s sunrise prints about an hour earlier on the clock — roughly 4:53 AM vs 6:01 AM around the June solstice.

Sunrise and sunset in India are calculated daily from its coordinates and the Asia/Kolkata timezone. Check the live solar cards on this page for today’s exact local times, day length, and the countdown to the next event.
Today the sun rises at 79° ENE and sets at 281° W in India. Face that compass bearing from an open viewpoint — sunrise is rarely due east, and sunset is rarely due west.
