How to add Indian Standard Time (IST) in Django?

Question

We want to get the current time in India in our Django project. In settings.py, UTC is there by default. How do we change it to IST?

Answer 1

Change your settings.py to:

TIME_ZONE =  'Asia/Calcutta'

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

USE_TZ = False

This should work.

For more information about the TIME_ZONE in Django you can see: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#time-zone
