Why people convert Ethiopia to NPT time

Scheduling a call from Ethiopia to NPT: a 10:00 AM start in Ethiopia lands at 12:45 PM in NPT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Ethiopia and NPT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:15 PM EAT time (11:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT). That is roughly 5 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Ethiopia viewers need 11:45 AM in NPT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 9:15 PM if the event is anchored to Ethiopia.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +2h 45m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–2:15 PM EAT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Ethiopia and need NPT colleagues present.

About EAT (East Africa Time)

East Africa Time (EAT) is used in the countries of East Africa including Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and others. EAT does not observe daylight saving time and shares the same offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK).

About NPT (Nepal Time)

Nepal Time (NPT) runs at UTC+05:45, one of only a handful of time zones worldwide that are not a whole or half hour from UTC. Nepal set its offset to 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC in 1986 to mark the country's position between the 75°E and 90°E meridians; Kathmandu's solar time sits just over 5 hours 41 minutes ahead of Greenwich, so the 45-minute offset tracks the sun more closely than either 5:30 or 6:00 would. Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so NPT is fixed all year. The offset makes Nepal 15 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (UTC+05:30) and 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Dubai (UTC+04:00).
