Answer:
IST mean India Standard Time
Explanation:
What's unusual is that there is only one time zone across the whole of India. The time zone is calculated according to the longitude of 82.5° E. at Shankargarh Fort in Mirzapur (in the Allahabad district of Uttar Pradesh), which was picked as the central meridian for India.
