Forty Percent of a Country's Software

Bangalore produces a large share of India's software exports — by most estimates around a third to 40% — from a city that was known until the 1980s mainly for its gardens and its mild climate.

The climate is part of the reason. At roughly 920 metres elevation, it was comfortable enough year-round that early computing firms could run machine rooms without fighting the heat.

The clock: all of India keeps a single offset, UTC+5:30, spanning about 2,900 km east to west. IST is based on 82.5° east; Bangalore, at 77.6°, runs about twenty minutes ahead of its own sun — a moderate gap by Indian standards, where the far east and far west are about an hour out.

Bangalore lies at 77.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+5:30, is built around the 82.5°E meridian. The 4.9° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 20 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:20 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 53m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 22m. The swing between them is 1h 32m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Bangalore the sun comes up earliest on 2 June at 05:52, while the latest sunset waits until 12 July at 18:50. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Bangalore that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
