This is because of different longitude and Same IST (Indian Standard Time).

-Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat are located at a different longitudes. But, Both Longitudes have same Time.

As, Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh have different longitudes, So it is found that, the Sun rises earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat. 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.

3) 30°* 4 mins = 120 mins

4) 120 Mins is equal to 2 Hours.

So, There is a 2 hours time different between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh.

Answer :

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the mainland is about 30°. Despite this fact, the east-west extent appears to be smaller than the north-south extent. From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours. Hence, 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. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night, as one moves from south to north.
