- From the extends south to north, the mainland of India extends between 8°4’N and 37°6’N latitudes.
- From the other extends west to east, India extends between 68°7’E and 97°25’E longitudes.
- Due to the great longitudinal extent and difference of about 29°, there are wide differences in local time of places located at two extreme points of the country.
- The difference between these two points would be approximate of about two hours.
