The easternmost longitude of India is 97°25'E. This is situated in the province of Arunachal Pradesh. India's longitudinal scale is 30'. India's easternmost point is two hours ahead of its westernmost point. The western longitude is 68°7'E, while the eastern longitude is 97°25'E. The easternmost point of India will be two hours ahead of the westernmost point. India's latitude extends from 8°4 minutes north to 37°6 minutes north, while its longitude ranges from 68°7 minutes east to 97°25 minutes east. Its latitudinal and longitudinal extent is, therefore, around 30°.
