Explanation:

India is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, I've often pondered why this is the case but never got round to answering it. Since I am going to India, I figured I should do the question justice!

The basic answer is Indian Standard Time is calculated on the basis of 82.5° E longitude, which is just west of the town of Mirzapur, near Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

The longitude difference between Mirzapur and the United Kingdom's Royal Observatory at Greenwich translates to an exact time difference of 5 hours 30 minutes.

Hope this will help you
