Local noon in India happens 5:30 hours before local noon in London (offset GMT+5:30).But to help you understand and visualise GMT offsets, it is best to think about where instead of when.India enjoys solar noon at 5.5 hrs x 15 degrees = 82.5 longitude. As the earth turns India into afternoon London will lay underneath the sun at longitude 0 (GMT+0).{TL:DR } India is wide enough to span multiple time zones but has chosen the convention and practicality of using just one, China also has a single time zone. Russia however uses more than 9.
