Dubai to Mumbai Time Difference

Dubai – Mumbai time difference and working hours

Dubai and Mumbai are two major hubs for finance, technology and operations across the Middle East and South Asia. Dubai runs on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), while Mumbai uses India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Neither city currently observes daylight saving time, which means the time difference between Dubai and Mumbai is a steady 1 hour and 30 minutes all year round.

A quick way to think about it is that Mumbai is one and a half hours ahead of Dubai. When it is 09:00 in Dubai, it is already 10:30 in Mumbai. The cards and live clocks at the top of this page automatically apply this offset, so you can rely on the displayed times instead of calculating the difference by hand.

Because the time zones are fairly close, teams that span Dubai and Mumbai usually enjoy a wide overlap in working hours. A typical daytime schedule such as 09:00–18:00 in Dubai corresponds to 10:30–19:30 in Mumbai. This makes it easy to plan stand-ups, customer calls and internal meetings without forcing people into very early mornings or late evenings on either side.

The 24-hour comparison table above gives you a more granular view. For each hour of the day you can see whether it falls into regular working hours, early morning, evening or night in both cities, along with a simple Meeting Quality indicator. Use this to pick slots that keep both Dubai and Mumbai teams energised, especially when you schedule recurring meetings.

Many organisations route regional operations through Dubai and engineering or support through India. MeetSpan is designed for these patterns: it helps you quickly check how handover times, escalation windows and customer SLAs look across the two time zones, and it integrates with the Meeting Overlap Finder when you need to add more cities to the mix.
