Mumbai to Tel Aviv Meeting Time & Timezone Overlap

Scheduling between Mumbai (Asia/Kolkata) and Tel Aviv (Asia/Jerusalem) is a 3.5-hour-gap problem, and almost every choice about meeting cadence flows from it. 5.5 overlapping work hours is enough that teams in both cities can run a normal meeting schedule — no early starts, no late finishes. The page below shows the live hour-by-hour comparison, the cleanest meeting windows, and the DST shifts that change the overlap on specific dates in 2026.

Mumbai–Tel Aviv working-hour overlap window

The shared working window is 0.5:00 PM – 6:00 PM in Mumbai (Asia/Kolkata), which lines up with 9:00 AM – 2.5:00 PM in Tel Aviv (Asia/Jerusalem).

For recurring meetings the most attendance-friendly start time is 0.5:00 PM Mumbai time. Booking inside the shared window means neither side has to take the call before breakfast or after dinner.

Daylight saving advisory

Tel Aviv observes daylight saving time; Mumbai does not. The effective time difference between the two cities therefore shifts by one hour twice a year. In 2026, the change dates that matter for this pair are:

  • Spring shift in Tel Aviv — last Sunday of March (Europe) or second Sunday of March (North America)
  • Autumn shift in Tel Aviv — last Sunday of October (Europe) or first Sunday of November (North America)

If you book a recurring meeting that already sits at the edge of the overlap window, expect it to drop out for roughly four weeks each spring and autumn when the windows realign.

Business-hours context for Mumbai and Tel Aviv

Standard business hours in Mumbai run 10:00–19:00 local time, with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. In Tel Aviv, standard hours are 9:00–17:00 with the weekend on Friday and Saturday.

The weekend days are not the same in both cities. A Friday meeting in Tel Aviv is a weekend in Tel Aviv; account for that when picking recurring slots.
