I have tried with following from your mentioned reference: $this->_localeDate->date(new \DateTime($historyDate))->format('m/d/y H:i:s'); but its not converting to IST, don't we need to set timezone anywhere like something? — bhargav shastri, Commented Sep 18, 2018 at 11:52

Yes you can set timezone from admin panel.

Go to Store->configuration->Genral You will find time zone according to your store you can set timezone.

Yes correct but i want to convert my custom date into IST time with datetime format, actually order created date is in UTC timeformat and i want to show it with IST timezone also so that admin can know exact indian standard time with which order was placed.

If you want to do it in custom way then you can use PHP core time/date function.For exmple: $date = new DateTime('2012-07-16 01:00:00 +00'); $date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata')); echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // 2012-07-15 05:00:00 This might help you!!

Finally i got solution below:

$date = new \DateTime($historyDate.' +00'); 
$date->setTimezone(new \DateTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata')); 
return $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

this will always convert UTC to IST time
