An earthquake of magnitude 3.7 on the Richter scale struck Delhi on Friday evening around 7:49 pm. According to the National Center of Seismology (NCS), the quake occurred at a depth of 10 km with the epicentre being in Haryana's Jhajjar. "EQ of M: 3.7, On: 11/07/2025 19:49:43 IST, Lat: 28.68 N, Long: 76.72 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Jhajjar, Haryana," NCS posted on X. The tremors were also felt in a few regions in Haryana, including Rohtak.

"Of the two earthquakes felt in Jhajjar, one today and another yesterday, today's was smaller... Both of them occurred in the same fault, which is between the Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault and the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge Fault. This is a predefined fault where there



is a high possibility of earthquakes of magnitude four to five. This is a shallow depth due to which earthquakes are felt in Delhi and nearby regions," Dr Ambikapathy Ammani, Scientist at National Centre for Seismology, Ministry of Earth Sciences, told the media. 

This was the second earthquake that hit the National Capital Region (NCR) in two days. An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 struck near Jhajjar on Thursday morning.
