Use a format specifier in ToString() eg:

IndianTime.ToString("hh:mm tt")

Should output the Time only (in 12 hour clock, with AM or PM).

More examples of custom formatting here, and there's a very useful list of Date Time format patterns with examples here.

Whole thing:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    Dim UTCTime As DateTime = DateTime.UtcNow
    Dim IndianTime As DateTime = UTCTime.AddHours(5.5)
    TextBox1.Text = IndianTime.ToString("hh:mm tt")
    TextBox2.Text = Now.ToString("hh:mm tt")
End Sub

Try this code

    Dim UTCTime As Date = Date.UtcNow
    Dim IndianTime As DateTime = String.Format("{0:hh:mm}", UTCTime.AddHours(5.5))
    TextBox1.Text = IndianTime
    TextBox2.Text = Now
