India Standard Time (IST) is 5:30 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This time zone is in use during standard time in: Asia. India Standard Time is a half-hour time zone. Its local time differs by 30 minutes instead of the normal whole hour.
Arunachal Pradesh is in extreme North East of India and whereas Gujarat is in the opposite side of Arunachal Pradesh, as a result Arunachal Pradesh is always ahead of time,the sun rise in Arunachal Pradesh is witnessed before Gujarat.And in Gujarat the sun set is witnessed late than in case of Arunachal Pradesh. Thats is the reason there is almost 2 hours difference in time.
