Why do you need standard meridian of India?

India is situated from west to east in about 30 longitudes . It takes4 minutes to cross a longitudes . India is situated between 67 degree E to 97 degree E. Hence there is a two hours difference in the timings of the western most extreme extremity and the easternmost extremity if there is no standard meridian in India we have to advance our watch by 4 minutes on each longitude, if we travel from west to east . In order to avoid the problem we have chosen 82 degree 30 E as standard meridian and its local time is taken a standard throughout the country.
