Working across Beijing and Delhi

What Beijing and Delhi have in common is government; that is the usual reason for a call between them. The gap is 2 hours 30 minutes, with Beijing the one whose clock reads later.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Beijing typically 09:00–18:00 and Delhi 09:30–18:00 local time. On the Beijing side the dates that break a schedule are Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October); on the Delhi side, Republic Day (26 January) and Holi (March). Replies slow in Beijing during the Chinese New Year fortnight and the October Golden Week and in Delhi during Diwali week.

The comfortable window is 12:00–17:00 Beijing time, which is 09:30–14:30 in Delhi — 5 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
