Hi friend ,
The Sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west because of the difference in latitudes. And the clocks show the same time because India has chosen its standard time that is the same for every part of the country.

Time at a place depends on its longitude, the earth rotates eastwards
therefore people living in eastern part see sun rising earlier than
that of western part. India extends across nearly 30 degrees from Gujrat
to Arunanchal Pradesh. As per the outcomes of 1884 International
Meridian Conference , Globe was divided into 24 standard time zones each
extending over 15 degrees longitude. As a result of this India could
have gone for two Time Zones but it decided to choose only one time
zone.The rationales behind this were firstly to avoid confusion of
having two time zones ( means two different times) since people at
large were illiterate at that time and this also facilitated
administrative ease. Since India decided to have one time zone; watches
show the same time across country no matter in which part of the country
we are living.
Choosing one time zone though avoided confusions but created a bit of problem for people of North East states. As sun rises relatively early there, they have to wait for rest of India for official works and timing. Scientists took this issue in different manner and requested advancing Indian Standard Time by half an hour to reduce the evening peak energy deficit more effectively and without the difficulties of dividing the country into two time zones or introducing Day light saving. They computed the economic benefit of this change and found that half an hour
saving on lighting leads to an energy saving of 2.3 billion units of energy per year for the country. This saving would partly reduce the deficit that we suffer as doing this we can utilize Sunlight in better way.
