Detailed Solution

The Standard Meridian of India is the 82° 30' E longitude. It is used to determine the time in the country. It passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. The time in India is determined depending on the Indian Standard Meridian and is known as Indian Standard Time (IST). It is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the 0° longitude through Greenwich in London. It is the universal standard used for measuring time. Time at any place is determined based on the standard meridian through that place. India expands over about 29° of longitude, which creates a 2-hour difference between east India and west India. But, IST is considered the standard time in India.
