What is meant by Indian standard time?why do we need a standard meridian in India |
|
Answer» indian Standard Time. ... Indian Standard Time (IST) is the time OBSERVED throughout INDIA, with a time offset of UTC+05:30. India does not observe daylight saving time (DST) or other seasonal adjustments. We need a standard meridian for India because there is a time lag of about 2 hours between Gujarat and Arunachal PRADESH. To avoid CONFUSION of time in different states , India adopted a standard meridian which is 82 degrees 30 E and it passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. |
