The longitudinal extent of India is about 30 degrees. With every one longitudinal difference, a time difference of 4 minutes is observed. Hence, with 30 degrees of longitudinal difference from the easternmost point of India in Arunachal Pradesh to the westernmost point in Gujarat, there will be a local time difference of 30x4=120 minutes or 2 hours.
