Live seismic activity in India — updated every 60 seconds from USGS data. India lies at the collision zone of the Indian and Eurasian plates, producing large intraplate and plate‑boundary earthquakes, especially in the Himalayan arc and the northeastern region (Assam).

India lies at the collision zone of the Indian and Eurasian plates, producing large intraplate and plate‑boundary earthquakes, especially in the Himalayan arc and the northeastern region (Assam). The 1950 Assam–Tibet earthquake (M8.6) was the largest intracontinental earthquake ever recorded. Major faults include the Main Himalayan Thrust, Kopili Fault, and the Kutch rift faults. Notable quakes include 1950 Assam (M8.6), 2001 Gujarat (M7.7), 2015 Nepal (M7.8, strongly felt in north India). The seismic risk is high (Himalayan belt) to moderate (peninsular India). Tectonically, India lies on the Indian Plate underthrusting the Eurasian Plate. This page provides real‑time USGS data and historical context for India.

The region is defined by Main Himalayan Thrust, Kopili Fault, Kutch rift faults, and the risk level is classified as High (Himalayan belt), Moderate (peninsular). With a population of 1.4 billion, understanding local seismic hazards is crucial.
India lies on Indian Plate underthrusting Eurasian Plate. The movement of these plates builds up stress, which is released as earthquakes. In subduction zones, one plate dives beneath another, generating some of the largest quakes on Earth. In some regions, strike‑slip faults produce frequent moderate earthquakes.

The strongest recorded earthquake in India was the 1950 Assam earthquake (M8.6). 1950 Assam (M8.6)
India experiences low to moderate seismic activity, with occasional felt earthquakes, according to USGS historical data.
The most recent major earthquake in India was the 2015 Nepal earthquake (M7.8). 2015 Nepal (M7.8)
Yes. India is crossed by Main Himalayan Thrust, Kopili Fault, Kutch rift faults, making it prone to seismic activity. The seismic risk level is classified as High (Himalayan belt), Moderate (peninsular).
Drop, cover, and hold on. Stay away from windows, and if outdoors, move to an open area. After the shaking stops, check for injuries and be ready for aftershocks. Prepare an emergency kit with water, food, first aid, and a flashlight.
