Hello dear,
82°30E is taken as the Standard meridian of India because
i)It passes from the middle of the country
ii)It is also taken because the westernmost part and the easternmost part of the country has a difference of 2hrs.So to maintain the timings of the telecasting programs,trains, flights,etc. it is selected as the Standard Meridian.

Answer:
From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours. Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82° 30' E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country.
