Europe and India are in different time zones, leading to a time difference between them. Most of Europe follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) or Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) during daylight saving months. India follows Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30), which does not change for daylight saving.
When Europe is on CET (UTC+1), India is 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead. However, during CEST (UTC+2) in summer, India is 3 hours and 30 minutes ahead. The time gap affects business meetings, travel schedules, and communication between the two regions.
