India is 9 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is the time zone for New York and the eastern United States during daylight saving time

. Since EDT is UTC-4 and India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30, the total difference is 9.5 hours ahead of EDT. To summarize:

• India Standard Time (IST) = UTC +5:30
• Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) = UTC -4:00
• India is 9 hours and 30 minutes ahead of EDT (current time zone for Eastern US in May)

Therefore, at 3:50 AM EDT on May 21, 2025, the time in India would be 1:20 PM the same day.
