People likely experienced weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of India, New Delhi, 58 km (36 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry1 km (1 mi)N of epicenterBhiwadi(pop: 104,900)III: WeakAlwar, RajasthanIndia6 km (4 mi)W of epicenterDharuhera(pop: 30,300)III: WeakRewari District, HaryanaIndia9 km (6 mi)E of epicenterTaoru(pop: 22,600)III: WeakNuh, HaryanaIndia16 km (10 mi)NW of epicenterPataudi(pop: 20,400)III: WeakGurugram district, HaryanaIndia18 km (11 mi)SE of epicenterNuh(pop: 16,300)III: WeakHaryanaIndia19 km (12 mi)NE of epicenterManesar(pop: 23,400)III: WeakGurugram district, HaryanaIndia19 km (12 mi)NW of epicenterHeli Mandi(pop: 20,900)III: WeakGurugram district, HaryanaIndia21 km (13 mi)E of epicenterSohna(pop: 36,600)III: WeakGurugram district, HaryanaIndia23 km (15 mi)W of epicenterRewari(pop: 143,000)III: WeakHaryanaIndia26 km (16 mi)NE of epicenterBhundsi(pop: 17,400)III: WeakGurugram district, HaryanaIndia29 km (18 mi)NE of epicenterBadshahpur(pop: 15,600)III: WeakGurugram district, HaryanaIndia30 km (18 mi)S of epicenterTijara(pop: 24,700)III: WeakAlwar, RajasthanIndia30 km (19 mi)SW of epicenterBawal(pop: 16,800)III: WeakRewari District, HaryanaIndia33 km (21 mi)NE of epicenterGurugram(pop: 886,500)III: WeakHaryanaIndia41 km (25 mi)NE of epicenterAya Nagar(pop: 33,100)III: WeakSouth Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia43 km (26 mi)NE of epicenterKapas Herd(pop: 74,100)III: WeakNew Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia46 km (29 mi)NE of epicenterChhatarpur(pop: 46,800)III: WeakSouth Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia46 km (29 mi)E of epicenterPalwal(pop: 131,900)III: WeakHaryanaIndia46 km (29 mi)N of epicenterRoshanpura(pop: 57,200)III: WeakSouth West Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia47 km (29 mi)N of epicenterNajafgarh(pop: 1,365,000)III: WeakSouth West Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia49 km (30 mi)SW of epicenterKhairtal(pop: 38,300)III: WeakAlwar, RajasthanIndia49 km (31 mi)NW of epicenterJhajjar(pop: 48,400)III: WeakHaryanaIndia50 km (31 mi)NE of epicenterDeoli(pop: 169,100)III: WeakSouth Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia50 km (31 mi)NE of epicenterFaridabad(pop: 1,414,100)III: WeakHaryanaIndia52 km (32 mi)NE of epicenterDelhi Cantonment(pop: 110,400)III: WeakNew Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia52 km (32 mi)N of epicenterHashtsal(pop: 176,900)III: WeakWest Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia54 km (34 mi)NE of epicenterPul Pehlad(pop: 69,700)III: WeakSouth East, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia55 km (34 mi)N of epicenterBahadurgarh(pop: 170,800)III: WeakJhajjar, HaryanaIndia56 km (35 mi)NE of epicenterMolarband(pop: 91,400)III: WeakSouth East, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia57 km (36 mi)N of epicenterNangloi Jat(pop: 205,600)III: WeakWest Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia58 km (36 mi)NE of epicenterNew Delhi(pop: 317,800)III: WeakNational Capital Territory of DelhiIndia59 km (36 mi)N of epicenterSultan Pur Majra(pop: 181,600)III: WeakNorth West Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia59 km (37 mi)N of epicenterKirari Sulemannagar(pop: 283,200)III: WeakNorth West Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia61 km (38 mi)N of epicenterPuth Kalan(pop: 96,000)III: WeakNorth West Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia62 km (39 mi)NE of epicenterDelhi(pop: 11,034,600)III: WeakNational Capital Territory of DelhiIndia63 km (39 mi)NE of epicenterNoida(pop: 293,900)III: WeakGautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar PradeshIndia64 km (40 mi)NE of epicenterDalupura(pop: 154,800)III: WeakEast Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia67 km (42 mi)NE of epicenterBhalswa Jahangirpur(pop: 197,100)III: WeakNorth Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiIndia75 km (46 mi)S of epicenterAlwar(pop: 322,600)II: Very weakRajasthanIndia177 km (110 mi)SW of epicenterJaipur(pop: 3,046,200)II: Very weakRajasthanIndiaNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 3 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 18, 2026 01:33 pm (GMT +5:30)6 minutes ago4.467 km0 km - This quakeHaryana - Delhi Region, IndiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 21.8 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 5 or higher: 0.05 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 22.2 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 0.56 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.8 years)Mag. 3 or higher: 6.5 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 18.8 quakes per yearMag. 1 or higher: 26.6 quakes per yearThe area where this quake occurred has a moderate level of seismic activity. However, It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 5 since 2000, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
