Sri Lanka and India are both on UTC+05:30, but it would appear that Sri Lankans may be using the term "Sri Lanka Standard Time", abbreviated SLST.
As far as I can tell, there is no commonly used English-language abbreviation for the time in Sri Lanka. The database uses "LKT" for this abbreviation, but this abbreviation was invented back when I felt free to make things up, and nowadays I'd rather not encourage that sort of thing. So, let's instead change the abbreviation to "+0530". We can do that after the next release (which we'll need to do for Magadan) and things start to open up for less-urgent changes like this.
