Yes. Central Time and India Standard Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

  • November 8 to March 13: 7 PM CST = 6:30 AM IST the next day
  • March 14 to November 6: 7 PM CST = 5:30 AM IST the next day
  • November 7 to November 7: 7 PM CST = 6:30 AM IST the next day

Central Time switches between CST and CDT for daylight saving time; people often say CST all year.
