Earthquakes in India — February 2026

10 earthquakes were recorded in India during February 2026, an average of 0.4 per day.

10 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 23 km.

The month's largest event in India was a magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Tāki, India on 27 February 2026 at 07:52 UTC. A magnitude 5.3 earthquake radiates roughly 1,344 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the India monthly average of 6 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 5 recorded the previous month.

90% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 10% 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 9 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 05 February, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.3 near Tāki, India on 27 February at 10 km; M4.8 near Naya Bāzār, India on 26 February at 10 km; M4.8 near Tsrār Sharīf, India on 02 February at 10 km.

That is 57% above the 6 events India averages per month across the 22 months on record.
