Answer:

"82.5 degree east" to the Greenwich Meridian is the longitude that serves as the "Standard meridian of India". It passes through Allahabad and is considered as the meridian that passes through the "centre of India". Time in India runs "five and a half hours" ahead the "Greenwich Mean time".
