Detailed Solution

Yes, the above statement is correct. The Standard Meridian of India at the longitude of (82°30'E) is used to determine the time in the country. This Standard Meridian passed through Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur. The time determined by the Indian Standard Meridian is known as IST or Indian Standard Time. It is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time, which is located at longitude 0 degrees and passes through Greenwich, London. India spans about 30 longitudes, which creates a 2-hour difference between east India and west India. As a result, to avoid having different time zones for different regions and reduce confusion, the IST has been set up.
