Hi, 

Try this code.

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
var gdt1 = new GlideDateTime();
//sets to IST
var tz = Packages.java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("IST");
gdt1.setTZ(tz);
gdt1.setValue(gdt); //in place of gdt, you can mention your date/time object variable
var start =gdt1.getDisplayValue(); //returns the date/time in IST timezone as a string.
start = new GlideDateTime(start); //returns the date/time in IST in date/time object

Kindly mark the comment as a correct answer and helpful if it helps to solve your problem.

[asifnoor · Accepted solution]

you can do it like this.

//assuming start is the date/time object as per above code
var st_date = start.getDate();
var st_time = start.getTime();
var start_date = st_time.getByFormat("HH:mm") +" "+ st_date.getByFormat("dd MMMM YYYY");
gs.print(start_date);
