Arunachal Pradesh lies on the easternmost tip of the country and Gujarat lies on the westernmost tip and both the states are separated by a distance of over 3300 kilometers.
There is a four minute difference between two consecutive longitudes. If you count the number of longitudes passing through India between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh and multiply it by 4 minutes, you will find that the difference is approximately 120 minutes.
And to make it even simpler, our day starts with the rising sun. People in Arunachal Pradesh have the fortune of being the first set of people in the country to view the rising sun across India , 2 hours earlier than the people in Gujarat
This is because of different longitude but Same IST (Indian Standard Time).

We know that, The Time of each location in a specific country is same. Either it's Longitudes are different or any there is far distance between them. Therefore, Sunrises earlier in Arunachal Pradesh due to their different Longitudes.
-Gujarat lies between 68° E and 74° E longitude.
-Arunachal Pradesh is located between 91.20° E and 97.30° E longitude
-Arunachal Pradesh is located at Eastern part of India. It means that, there will be very Huge distance in time.
Reason for time difference:
1) India is located at 30° longitude. (Time will be same everywhere even there are different longitudes).
2) There is 30° longitudes between Arunachal pradesh and Gujarat.
