At approximately 6 a.m. IST on July 22, 2025, a 3.2‑magnitude earthquake rocked Faridabad, Haryana, acting as its epicentre . Recorded at a shallow depth of around 5 km beneath the surface and centered at coordinates 28.29° N, 72.21° E, the quake produced mild yet noticeable tremors felt across Delhi and its surrounding NCR region.

Residents awoke to subtle shaking, but by mid‑morning authorities confirmed no damage, casualties, or disruption to services. The prompt detection by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences highlights the region’s enhanced earthquake monitoring systems.

Though modest in scale, the quake serves as a reminder that Delhi‑NCR lies in Seismic Zone IV - a high-risk seismic zone subject to occasional tectonic stress and shallow earthquakes. Experts point out that even moderate quakes around magnitudes 2–4 are part of normal stress adjustments along local fault lines, such as the Mahendragarh‑Dehradun and Delhi‑Haridwar ridges.

While aftershocks could follow, history indicates tremors of this magnitude typically cause no significant harm. Authorities advise residents to stay alert and be prepared, though no immediate precautions are required given the quake's limited strength.
