Earthquakes in India — October 2025

2 earthquakes were recorded in India during October 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.

2 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 102 km.

The month's largest event in India was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Bamboo Flat, India on 16 October 2025 at 22:10 UTC. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake radiates roughly 477 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 down from the 3 recorded the previous month.

50% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 50% 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 1 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 16 October, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.0 near Bamboo Flat, India on 16 October at 19 km; M4.8 near Phek, India on 16 October at 186 km.

That is 69% below the 6 events India averages per month across the 22 months on record.
