Feedback on Firefox Widgets – Missing Indian Standard Time (IST)

[Kaizer]

I noticed that the World Clock widget includes Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) but does not provide an option for Indian Standard Time (IST). This is surprising given that India has one of the world's largest internet user bases and a significantly larger population than many countries currently represented.

India operates on a unique UTC+5:30 time zone used by over 1.4 billion people, making it one of the most widely used time zones globally. The absence of IST while neighbouring time zones are available feels like a major oversight and reduces the usefulness of the widget for Indian users and anyone who regularly works with Indian colleagues, clients, friends, or family.

Please consider adding Indian Standard Time (IST) to the World Clock widget as a standard option. Its inclusion would greatly improve the widgets global coverage and usability.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I am curious as to how did we come to this conclusion of not including India in the timezone widget. This cannot be an oversight, there has to be a reason behind this.

Good news, I posted this issue on bugzilla. It is actively being fixed!! There is a work around for the time being. Kolkata was added so folks could access IST through selecting that city. Just very odd not having Delhi or Mumbai to begin with, its like omitting NYC.
