The document discusses three solutions to implement daylight saving time in India: advancing the North-Eastern region by 1 hour all year, advancing that region 1 hour ahead of Indian Standard Time year-round, or implementing a 1-hour daylight saving time for the rest of India in summer months. It estimates the potential energy savings in summer months for some states under the third solution, with Madhya Pradesh seeing the largest savings at 0.22% or around 100,000 MWh. The document also notes it will address counterarguments to the proposed solutions.

Shift in clocks of north east region or not case study
- 6. SOLUTION-1 The entire North-Eastern region should have its time advanced by 1 hour.
- 7. SOLUTION-2 The North-Eastern region should move 1 hour ahead of the IST at all times of the year.
- 8. SOLUTION-3 Rest of India should have Daylight Saving Time of 1 hour in the summer months. STATE-WISE ENERGY SAVINGS IN SUMMER MONTHS Madhya Pradesh 0.22 % ~ 100,000 MWH West Bengal 0.21 % Karnataka 0.17 % Tamil Nadu 0.07 % Andhra Pradesh 0.09 %
- 9. Addressing possible counter arguments to the solution
Editor's Notes
- This+ 2 more examples (andaman nicobar+cricket match)
- India spans around 1800 miles across north-east India to the west and still follows one single time zone. Theoretically, for every degree longitudinal shift, there should be a difference of 4 minutes due to the earth’s rotation. But such rules would cause enormous chaos within a state and would hamper the administration of the country without doubt. But why the rigidity in adopting another time zone if it benefits the state. On an early January night, it is pitch black at as early as 4.50 p.m.
