  • The local times which lie on different meridians are bound to differ.
  • The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat.
  • This causes a time lag of two hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh to avoid confusion and to have a standard time for reference, The 82.30'Eastern Longitude has been taken as the standard time for the whole country.
  • The local time at this Meridian has been accepted as the Indian Standard Time (IST) throughout the country because it passes through the middle of the country.
  • It has helped to avoid a lot of confusion which would have been there by following different local times or in absence of a uniform time
