Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
Please note that this is the default behavior of the plugin.
This was changed some time ago to update the actual date and not the timezone, so you’ll see that your time in the sitemap already includes the timezone offset correctly added to the time from UTC.
Looking forward to helping you.
But I want IST timezone in sitemap also.
Hello,
There is no option to do that. You will have to make changes directly to the plugin files. You can edit the wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/sitemap/class-timezone.php
And change the UTC with your preferred timezone on line 40. Since you want UTC +5:30, the code should be like this:
$date_time = new DateTime( $datetime_string, new DateTimeZone( '+5:30' ) );
Please note that these changes will be overridden by each update and you will have to make the changes again.
Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thanks, One More Query.

Hello,
You should redirect the AMP URLs to the non-AMP version after deactivating the AMP plugin. Here is a guide that will help you with that: https://rankmath.com/kb/redirect-all-amp-pages-to-non-amp-pages/
