India lies wholly in the northern and eastern hemispheres. The main land of India extends from 8o 4' 28" N to 37o 17' 53" N latitudes and from 68o 7' 53"E to 97o 24' 47" E longitudes. The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is approximately the same i.e. 30o.

Longitudes are imaginary lines on the globe that run from North Pole to South Pole.
Prime Meridian is 0° longitude. In the east of 0°, there are 179 longitudes or meridians and in the west also 179 longitudes are marked. After an Eastern longitude, letter E is added and in the same manner when we mention a Western longitude, letter W is added to show its location in Eastern or Western Hemisphere. 180° longitude is known as International Date Line and neither E nor W is added after it. So there are total 360 longitudes on earth.
According to longitudes, India is in Eastern Hemisphere. It extends between 68°7′ E to 97°25′E.
Note: Letter E will be used both after east and west extent as India is completely in Eastern Hemisphere.
So India's longitudinal extent is about 30°.
