Earthquakes in India — September 2025
3 earthquakes were recorded in India during September 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.

The month's largest event in India was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Khārupatia, India on 14 September 2025 at 11:11 UTC. A magnitude 5.5 earthquake radiates roughly 2,682 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the India monthly average of 6 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and up from the 2 recorded the previous month.
67% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 33% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.
By band, the catalogue holds 2 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.5 near Khārupatia, India on 14 September at 29 km; M4.9 near Wāngjing, India on 30 September at 98 km; M4.9 near Port Blair, India on 18 September at 10 km.
