Answer:
India is a vast country.
Due to its large extent India has a time lag of about 2 hours between gujarat and arunachal pradesh. This difference in time will create a lot of confusion and problem in railways, transportation, trade, etc.
So to avoid this confusion and to carry on the services smoothly India adopts standard time.
