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.

the standard meridian of India is 83°30 which is at mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh at every 15° one hour completes . the longitudinal extent is 68°7 and 97°25 which has approximately 30° difference=97-68 =29 which is almost 30° so if at every 15° 1 hours complete so in 30° 2 hours complete and thus there is a time Gap of 2hours between arunachal Pradesh and gujrat
