I am assuming that you are asking about a web-based application.

Use of the JavaScript Date Object may solve your issue. You can write some JavaScript code that runs on the client PC to compute the local time from the GMT.

// Generate the following JavaScript line on the server
// inserting the GMT date and time.
// In this example: GMT = 23 January 2013 16:15
var theDate = new Date(2013,01,23,16,15,0,0); 

// The above line creates the Date object.
// The following line converts the Date object to a local time zone string.
var myLocalDate = theDate.toLocaleString();

Note: I have not tested this solution. I just read my JavaScript manual to learn about the Date object and compose my suggested solution.
