  Hi there!

  You’re right! That is surprising. I’ve passed your message along to our developers to see whether we can rectify it. Thanks for the report.

  Ok, I’ve got an update on this for you. The timezone identifier for India is Asia/Kolkata and this ultimately comes from PHP:

  This means it’s not something we can change, sorry. However the absence of New Delhi is more to do with the stability of time zones in your region rather than anything else.
