For the second consecutive day, earthquake tremors were felt across the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR). The National Centre for Seismology (NCS) confirmed that Friday evening’s quake measured 3.7 on the Richter scale and had its epicentre in Haryana’s Jhajjar district. It was recorded at a depth of 10 kilometres.

The tremors, which struck at 7:49 PM on 11 July, came just a day after a stronger earthquake measuring 4.4 shook the same region. That earlier quake occurred on Thursday morning at 9:04 AM, also centred near Jhajjar, around 51 kilometres west of Delhi and 3 kilometres northeast of the town.

Earlier on 10th July, an earthquake sent mild shockwaves through neighbouring districts, including Rohtak, Panipat, Hisar, and parts of western Uttar Pradesh, such as Meerut. Although no damage or injuries have been reported, the quakes left many residents startled, especially given their back-to-back occurrence.

These recent events add to a series of mild to moderate quakes reported in the region this year. On 17 February 2025, an earthquake measuring 4.0 had also jolted Delhi-NCR early in the morning. That quake, with a depth of 5 kilometres, had an epicentre 9 km east of New Delhi. Residents had reported feeling strong tremors, and many rushed outside as a precaution.

Delhi falls under Seismic Zone IV, classified by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority as a “High Damage Risk Zone.” This means that while large-scale earthquakes are not frequent, the region remains vulnerable to moderate to strong tremors.
