Reasons behind selecting 82⁰ 30' E as India's Standard Meridian--

i) From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, there is a time lag of 2 hours. Thus to retain uniformity and avoid time- related chaos all over the country, 82⁰ 30' E, passing through Mirzapur in UP, has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India.

ii) 82⁰ 30'E is exactly divisible by 5⁰30', which has been selected as the international standard time zone.
