Is it necessary for India to have two time zones? The national timekeeper has added fresh arguments

Yes, you read it correctly: India has two time zones! It is not the first time that the desire for two time zones has been voiced in India. According to India’s national timekeeper, the country might have two time zones: IST-I for the majority of the country and IST-II, with an hour difference, for the Northeastern regions.

According to India’s national timekeeper, the country might have two time zones: IST-I for the majority of the country and IST-II, with an hour difference, for the North-eastern regions.

The North-eastern parts of India have been requesting two time zones, citing the negative effects of India’s single time zone.

According to an article released by CSIR-NPL, India’s official timekeeper, following two time zones will save the country 20 million kWh of energy each year.

While the CSIR-NPL supports the implementation of two time zones in the country, there is another side of the coin that sheds light on its complications, such as mismatches in office timings, frequent railway accidents, and the fact that the functioning of not only the Indian railway, but the railway of every country, is based on timings.

Despite the freshly ignited debate, the Central Government has reiterated that no decision has been made on the introduction of two time zones in the nation.
