Convert date time into correct date time format of dd-MMM-yyyy HH:MM in dojo

I am getting my current date time in below format

Fri Oct 04 2019 13:48:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

But i need this in below format 

04-Oct-2019 19:18

I am getting first format 

exports.date = function formatDate(vpDateObj) {
  var vpDate = locale.parse(dateUtils.toString(vpDateObj), {
    datePattern: "dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm",
    selector: "date"
  });
  alert(vpDate);
  alert(convert(vpDate));
  return vpDate ? vpDate.toString(vpDate) : " ";
};

and i am trying to convert into proper format like below 

function convert(str) {
  var date = new Date(str),
    mnth = ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2),
    day = ("0" + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
  hours = ("0" + date.getHours()).slice(-2);
  minutes = ("0" + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
  return [date.getFullYear(), mnth, day, hours, minutes].join("-");
}

But here GMT+530 hours is not getting added in time.

Please help

Pretty sure what you need is here is to convert that locale date IST into GMT (which is equivalent to UTC there is no quantifiable difference between the two) in the required format dd-MMM-yyyy HH:MM

function dateConverter(d) {
  const monthList = [
    "Jan",
    "Feb",
    "Mar",
    "Apr",
    "May",
    "Jun",
    "Jul",
    "Aug",
    "Sep",
    "Oct",
    "Nov",
    "Dec"
  ];

  /*Notice UTC methods are used to take care of 1st day of month and year*/
  const yr = d.getUTCFullYear();
  const mnt = monthList[d.getUTCMonth()];
  const day = d.getUTCDate() < 9 ? "0" + d.getUTCDate() : d.getUTCDate();

  const gmtHr = d.getUTCHours();
  const gmtMin =
d.getUTCMinutes() < 9 ? "0" + d.getUTCMinutes() : d.getUTCMinutes();

  return [day, mnt, yr].join("-") + " " + [gmtHr, gmtMin].join(":");
}
const result = dateConverter(new Date());
//alert("Formatted::" + result);
console.info("Formatted::", result);

Use locale.format, be aware that idian time is ahead of GMT by 5h30 not backward

should minus 5h30 hour :

require(["dojo/date/locale"
], function(locale) {
  var vpDate  = new Date("Fri Oct 04 2019 15:48:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)");
  
  console.log(vpDate);
  
  var format3 = locale.format( vpDate , {selector:"date", datePattern:"dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm " } );
    
  
  console.log("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm -> ",format3);
  
});
<link href="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.10.0/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script>
  dojoConfig = {
    parseOnLoad: true,
    async: true
  };
</script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.10.0/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
