Call India from Portugal

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

Portugal operates on Western European Time (UTC+0, or UTC+1 during daylight saving from late March to late October), making it ideal to call during their business hours of 9 AM-6 PM, which translates to early morning if you're in the Americas or evening if you're in Asia or Australia. Keep in mind that Portugal follows EU daylight saving rules, so always verify the current time difference during the transition periods in March and October to avoid calling too early or late. India operates on a single time zone (UTC+5:30) across the entire country, so the best time to call from most Western locations is early morning or late evening to catch Indian business hours (9 AM-6 PM IST). Note that India doesn't observe daylight saving time, and the unusual 30-minute offset means time differences won't be whole hours—for example, when it's noon UTC, it's 5:30 PM in India.
