Answer:
The Indian Standard Time was established as the official time zone of India upon its independence on August 15th, 1947. It is calculated on the basis of a clock tower in Mirzapur (with coordinates 25.15° North Latitude and 82.58° East longitude).The IST is insufficient to cover the geographical expanse of India.The reason is that such is the east-west distance covers about 2933 kilometres and 29 degrees of longitude resulting in the sun rising and setting almost two hours earlier on the eastern borders of India than its western borders.
