Falling under Seismic Zone 4, the Delhi-NCR region considered a moderate to high-risk earthquake zone and experiences earthquakes often. The region is just 250 kilometers from the Himalayan collision zone. Apart from this, several active fault lines exist around Delhi, including the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge, the Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault, the Sohna Fault, and the Yamuna River Lineament which make the Delhi-NCR region susceptible to earthquakes.
