UTC5

UTC+5 is a time offset from Coordinated Universal Time by adding five hours. It is used as standard time in several countries and regions, primarily in Asia and parts of Europe, and most places using this offset do not observe daylight saving time in recent decades.

Regions and zones that use UTC+5 include Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) in Pakistan, Turkmenistan Time (TMT) in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan Time (UZT) in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan Time (TJT) in Tajikistan, and Yekaterinburg Time (YEKT) in the Yekaterinburg area of Russia. These usages can be countrywide or regional, depending on administrative decisions. The offset is defined as five hours ahead of UTC (for example, when it is 12:00 UTC, it is 17:00 in UTC+5).

Notes on usage: UTC+5 has been stable for most of the modern era in the regions that employ it, with few or no seasonal clock changes in recent years. The exact boundaries and naming conventions of the local time zones can change through government reforms, but the underlying offset remains five hours ahead of UTC. Major cities associated with UTC+5 include Karachi (PKT) in Pakistan, Tashkent and Samarkand regions (UZT) in Uzbekistan, and Yekaterinburg (YEKT) in Russia.
