82°30' E has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India because it is situated in the centre of all longitudes and latitudes in which our country is located. 82 degree 30 minutes is selected as standard meridian because it lies almost in center of the india.
Hope it helps !!

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. So, an odd value 82°30' is taken as the standard meridian.
Thank you:)
