Mauritius and India Time Zones Explained
Mauritius uses Mauritius Time, which is 4 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+4). The UAE, Oman and Seychelles use the same offset. India uses India Standard Time (IST), UTC+5:30, across the whole country.
The gap is the difference between the two: 5 hours 30 minutes minus 4 hours equals 1 hour 30 minutes. India is ahead. Mauritius tried daylight saving time for a short period in 2008 and 2009, but it does not use it now, so the gap never changes.
How to Convert MUT to IST
- Mauritius time to India time: add 1 hour 30 minutes.
- India time to Mauritius time: subtract 1 hour 30 minutes.
An easy way to do it in your head is to add 2 hours, then take away 30 minutes. For example, 4:00 PM in Port Louis becomes 6:00 PM, then 5:30 PM in India.

- Missing the date change. After 10:30 PM in Mauritius, it is already the next day in India.
- Mixing it up with Dubai. Mauritius and the UAE share the same time, but the UAE has a different weekend.
