Tehran to Chennai Time Converter

Tehran runs on the Asia/Tehran zone (IRST) and Chennai on Asia/Kolkata (IST); the tool reads your browser's own time-zone data, so the offset is always right even across the days each city changes its clocks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the time difference between Tehran and Chennai?

It can change through the year because one or both cities observe daylight saving, so the converter above shows the current difference live rather than a fixed number. Tehran uses Asia/Tehran and Chennai uses Asia/Kolkata.

What time is it in Chennai when it's 9:00 AM in Tehran?

Type 9:00 into the Tehran field above and the converter shows the matching Chennai time for today, daylight saving included. It also shows the Chennai date in case the time crosses midnight.

Does this converter handle daylight saving between Tehran and Chennai?

Yes. It uses your browser's own time-zone data (Asia/Tehran for Tehran, Asia/Kolkata for Chennai), which carries each region's daylight-saving rules, so the result stays correct all year.

Can it convert Chennai time to Tehran time as well?

Yes — press the swap button and the converter flips to show Chennai → Tehran, with the same live clocks and time picker.

Is the Tehran to Chennai time conversion accurate and private?

It relies on the standard IANA time-zone database built into your browser, not an approximation, and makes no network calls, so your times stay on your device.
