Answer 1

hello there your answer
We require a standard meridian for India because to avoid confusion in time throughout the india we take one meridian and the time in india would be the same for all states
hope it helps you

Answer 2

• India has a vast longitudinal extent.

• Since many meridians pass through it, it is important to adopt the local time of one central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country.

• Thus, we need a standard meridian for the country.

• In India 82 ½ °E longitude determines the standard time.
