Explanation:
From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours, but the watches show the same time because the time along the Standard Meridian of India (82° 30' E) passing through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh is taken as the standard time for the whole country.

Traveling from east to west the time gap between each latitude is 2 minutes.
So there is 2 hours gap between Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat.
To avoid confusion every country has a standard meridian
It is another story
In each time zone there are 7 1/2 latitude
The exact middle latitude must be taken as standard meridian of the particular time zone
For IST zone it is 82 1/2 ° E
It is 5.30+ hours from Prime meridian
So every watch in our country shows this time
