Gazipur is in the Bangladesh Standard Time timezone (BST/UTC+6), year-round with no daylight saving.

Gazipur is an industrial and satellite city directly north of Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital. The two cities share Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6. No daylight saving. The clock stays fixed all year.

UTC+6 is an unusual offset: it puts Bangladesh 30 minutes ahead of India (UTC+5:30) and 30 minutes behind Myanmar (UTC+6:30). Bangladesh chose this offset at independence in 1971, and the half-hour neighbors on either side reflect each country’s individual decision about where to draw the line.

Factories and the factory clock

Gazipur is home to hundreds of garment factories, part of Bangladesh’s massive ready-made garment industry. Shift schedules here are precise: workers arrive at 8am, factories run in two or three shifts, and production targets are tied to the clock in ways that pre-industrial Gazipur never experienced.

This industrial time discipline is relatively new. A generation ago, the area was farmland where agricultural rhythms, not factory bells, set the pace of the day.

Both cities use Asia/Dhaka in the IANA database. When it is noon in Gazipur, it is 6am in London, noon in Tashkent, and 1pm in Bangkok.
