= 30 km. Details of all earthquakes recorded during the last five years are available on NCS website www.seismo.gov.in and also detailed below:
District-wise recorded earthquakes in Himachal Pradesh (2021-2025)
District-wise recorded earthquakes in Karnataka (2021-2025)
Spatial coverage of the seismic monitoring network is periodically assessed for the entire country, including high seismic hazard regions such as Himachal Pradesh and parts of the Western Ghats. Presently, the network is capable of detecting earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 and above in any part of the country. The continuous ground motion data from NCS-operated field stations is processed in near real time for rapid estimation of earthquake parameters, generation of ShakeMaps/intensity maps, and timely dissemination of earthquake information to Government authorities, stakeholders and the public. Funds for augmentation and maintenance of the National Seismological Network are under PRITHVI scheme of the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES). The funds utilized under Central scheme for network augmentation during the last three years are Rs.2.96 crores.
This information was submitted by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences and Science & Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh in Lok Sabha on 1st April 2026.
