  • Mizoram (Champhai) 23.45
  • Tripura (Udaipur) 23.53

  • Chattisgarh (Sonhat) 23.47

At the tropic of Cancer, the Sun appears directly overhead at its culmination. Every year, 2.7 billion units of electricity is saved by India by shifting the IST meridian eastward (from the 82.5E longitude in UP to 90E near Assam-Bengal border), calculated by the scientists. Tarun Gogoi, the Chief Minister of Assam, announced his decision to reset the clock in the state an hour ahead of the Indian Standard Time (IST) in order to increase productivity and save energy.
