Description
Hi,
Background:
I was trying to setup timezone in Settings/General/timezone.
I am from Chennai, India (UTC+5.30 hrs).
There is an option to select city in timezone.
Issue:
The list does not display Bangalore or Chennai.
These 2 cities are the IT hub in India.
It does list Kolkata. Few people maybe confused and list looks old to me.
Enhancement Suggestion:
The enhancement suggestion is add Chennai and Bangalore to the list of cities.
It should be under Asia.
Regards
Srivatsan.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.
As previously noted in tickets like #26656 or #30436, WordPress core does not maintain the list of timezones, but uses the list provided by timezone_identifiers_list() PHP function. That list is based on the Olson timezone database.
The current list is available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
WordPress doesn't generally add new timezones to this list, as IANA/ICANN are responsible for adding new timezones there, and they do a pretty good job of keeping it current.
