Between arunachal Pradesh and gujrat there is a time lag of 2hrs bcj we know that sun rises in east and arunachal Pradesh is the most eastern zone of India and sun sets in west so gujrat is the western most state of India. This time lag is due to sun rising and setting as sun rises in east Arunachal Pradesh gets first ray than gujrat then after that gujrat receives. so time is more in Arunachal Pradesh compared to Gujrat. ex- In arunachal Pradesh if it was 8.00clock then in gujrat it was 6.00clock due to time lag so for this reason India adopted standard time
