I don't think the latest time zone database has propagated into NetBSD.
One way to fix this is to FTP /pub/tzcode93g.tar.gz and
/pub/tzdata93g.tar.gz from elsie.nci.nih.gov, install it into your
system, and then type `zic -l Asia/Calcutta'; but this may take some
work.  It should be easier just to append the following to your `asia'
file and then type `zic -l Asia/Calcutta asia'.

# India
# Zone	NAME		GMTOFF	RULES	FORMAT	[UNTIL]
Zone	Asia/Calcutta	5:30	-	IST
