Tashkent Time Zone — UZT UTC+5 Year-Round
Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan and the largest city in Central Asia, operates on Uzbekistan Time (UZT), permanently fixed at UTC+5. There is no Daylight Saving Time in Uzbekistan, which means the offset stays constant throughout the year. This makes Tashkent 5 hours ahead of London in winter (4 hours ahead when London switches to BST), 2 hours ahead of Moscow, 1 hour ahead of Dubai, and 10 hours behind New York in winter. Tashkent shares its UTC+5 offset with Islamabad (Pakistan), Male (Maldives), and Yekaterinburg (Russia). For international business, the stable no-DST offset simplifies scheduling: once you know the gap, it never shifts. The city sits at the crossroads of the ancient Silk Road trade routes, and its modern timezone reflects Central Asia's position between the European West and the East Asian business hubs.
Business Hours and Working Culture in Tashkent
Tashkent's business community follows a standard Monday-to-Friday workweek with hours typically running 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM UZT. Government offices, banks, and public institutions usually close at 5:00 PM and are not open on weekends. Islamic holidays and Uzbek national holidays (such as Navruz on March 21 and Independence Day on September 1) affect business operations. Tashkent has emerged as a growing hub for manufacturing, IT outsourcing, and fintech in Central Asia, with an expanding number of international companies establishing offices in the city. The Tashkent City business district hosts modern office towers with coworking spaces that align with global working norms. For callers from Europe, the afternoon hours — 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM CET — align well with Tashkent's morning business window of 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM UZT.
Calling and Scheduling Meetings with Tashkent
Coordinating with Tashkent from major global cities requires accounting for the fixed UTC+5 offset. From London (GMT), the best calling window for Tashkent's 9:00 AM–6:00 PM business day is 4:00 AM–1:00 PM GMT in winter, or 5:00 AM–2:00 PM in summer (when London is on BST). From Dubai (UTC+4), just 1 hour behind, the overlap is near-perfect: standard Dubai business hours of 9:00 AM–6:00 PM GST correspond to 10:00 AM–7:00 PM in Tashkent. From Berlin or Paris (CET/UTC+1), call between 8:00 AM–5:00 PM CET in winter to catch Tashkent's working day. From New York (EST), the 10-hour difference means dialing between 11:00 PM and 8:00 AM Eastern to reach Tashkent during business hours — evening calls from New York are typically required. Tashkent's country code is +998, and the city code is 71.
