About time in Jakarta
Jakarta uses Western Indonesia Time (WIB, UTC+7) all year. Jakarta does not use daylight saving time, so its UTC offset never changes.
Jakarta is on Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7). Indonesia spans three time zones, and none of them observes daylight saving time.
Jakarta uses Western Indonesia Time (WIB), UTC+7, the westernmost of the country's three zones. Central Indonesia Time (WITA, UTC+8) covers Bali, Sulawesi and Kalimantan's eastern half, and Eastern Indonesia Time (WIT, UTC+9) covers Maluku and Papua. A call from Jakarta to Jayapura crosses two hours without leaving the country.
Jakarta's clock was half an hour ahead, at UTC+7:30, until 1964, when it moved to the current offset. Indonesia does not use daylight saving time, so its gaps to other cities only change when they change. Jakarta is one hour behind Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, the same as Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, and 11 hours ahead of New York in the American summer. For calls with Europe, the Jakarta afternoon is the European morning: 3 p.m. in Jakarta is 9 a.m. in Paris in winter and 10 a.m. in summer.
