Time not accurate in Production Server

Using Django Deployment
1

I know this is not specifically related to django, but thought I might ask.

The thing is my app displays Time accurately in Development, and in the Production Server they have set the Time zone to = UTC, so I have converted my Views and settings.py to show the time in my local time, code Below:

#settings.py
TIME_ZONE = 'Indian/Maldives'
USE_I18N = True
USE_TZ = True

# app/views.py
import pytz
from django.utils import timezone

....
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['time'] = timezone.localtime(self.object.trip_date, pytz.timezone("Indian/Maldives")).strftime("%H:%M %p")
        return context
...

and in my templates the code is:

 <li>
   Created Time:{{time}}
 </li>

And the time is still displayed in UTC time zone, is there a way I can convert to my local time through django, maybe add +5 hours to the Production Servers UTC time, when it is displayed on my templates or is there a way I could handle this, without configuring my production servers Time Zone. thanks

You’re might be looking for the astimezone function.
