DoT urges ISPs to adopt IST under ‘One Nation, One Time’ initiative

DoT has issued a letter to internet service providers, urging them to align their systems with Indian Standard Time (IST) as part of the government’s broader One Nation, One Time initiative. This advisory refers to the Draft Legal Metrology (Indian Standard Time) Rules introduced by the Department of Consumer Affairs, which proposes making IST (UTC +5:30) a legal standard for all entities.
