Earthquakes in India — February 2025
5 earthquakes were recorded in India during February 2025, an average of 0.2 per day.
5 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 17 km.
The month's largest event in India was a magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Parādīp Garh, India on 25 February 2025 at 00:40 UTC. A magnitude 5.3 earthquake radiates roughly 1,344 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the India monthly average of 6 events over the period we cover, and down from the 8 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 3 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.3 near Parādīp Garh, India on 25 February at 10 km; M5.3 near Khārupatia, India on 26 February at 10 km; M4.3 near Leh, India on 10 February at 10 km.
That is 21% below the 6 events India averages per month across the 22 months on record.
