Explanation:

The time of a place depends on the meridian that passes through it. There would be great confusion if each place in the country followed its local time. It  would not be possible to prepare a common railway or airlines timetable for the country if each place were to follow a different local time. To avoid this confusion, most countries follow a standard time.

The local time of the central meridian of India (82degrees30'E) is taken as the standard time for the entire country of India. It is called the Indian Standard time (IST). The central meridian passes through Mirzapur near Allahabad.
