New Delhi is located at 28.61°N, 77.21°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Asia/Kolkata timezone (GMT+5:30). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In New Delhi this falls around 12:20 in mid-summer and 12:11 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
