82°30' E has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India because it is situated in the centre of all longitudes and latitudes in which our country is located. 82 degree 30 minutes is selected as standard meridian because it lies almost in center of the india.

As the The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the mainland is 30.

The time difference between each latitude is 4 mins. So from the extreme east longitude to the extreme west longitude it will be 30x4= 120 mins i.e, 2 hours.

Just to avoid the confusion 82°30' is taken as prime meredian of India.

It passes through Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh.
