That would be 5.5 times 15°, putting it at 82.5° east longitude.
The standard meridian of India passes through the city of Allahabad, also known as Prayagraj.
The earlier prime meridian was established by the British at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London in 1851. This prime meridian later became internationally recognized and was adopted as the starting point for measuring longitude.
The need for the Indian Standard Meridian was to establish a common reference point for time determination in India. By adopting the 82.5° E longitude as the standard meridian, it helped in organizing the country into a single time zone, simplifying time-keeping and communication processes across the nation.
-- With reference to the equator, that is, regarding latitude only, India is located entirely in the northern hemisphere. -- With reference to the Prime Meridian, that is, regarding longitude only, India is located entirely in the eastern hemisphere.
The 80° East meridian traverses territory of . . . -- Russian Federation -- Kazakhstan -- Kyrgyzstan -- China -- India -- Sri Lanka -- Antarctica (separate continent, with no countries)

The Prime Meridian doesn't cross any territory of India.
India lies in the eastern hemisphere with reference to the prime meridian.
The standard meridian is important for India because there is two hours difference between the eastern most and western most part of India.so in order to maintain a common time through out India the central meridian 82.5 is selected as the standard meridian.the reason for the need of a common time n India is for the integrated running of railways,flights,many telecasts and for all these thing different places cant have different timings.
yes
