82 °30 min east selected as Standard meridian of India because
From west to east ,there is about 30 longitude which means ,1longitude=4min i.e. 30×4=120min or 2 hours gap.To clear the confusion, 82 degree 30 min east selected

It also Centrally passes from India and it is the multiple of 7 1/2° .

so it is choosen as Standard Meridian of India
