Our country has a time lag of two hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh due to which there will be different time for different places. This will create problems and confusion in the management of our country. To solve this problem there is need to have a common time throughout India. Hence, time along the standard meridian of India (82030'E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as standard time for whole country.

If there is no standard meridian, then how will you relate time of one country to another or time of one place to another?
Standard meridian time is chosen for world by GMT(Greenwich Mean Time)
It's significance is that it can used to relate the time of one place to another
