Abstract
The 25 April 2015 earthquake that hit Nepal caused destruction on a massive scale. The rupture
propagated more than hundred km eastwards at 2.8 km/s (Avouac et al. 2015). High-rate GPS and
InSAR data were used by Galetzka et al, 2015 and found the width of slip pulse to be approximately
20 km and its duration to be about 6 sec. Using the source model reported in Avouac et al., 2015
we have simulated ground motion at important cities of India. Peak ground displacement (PGD),
peak ground velocity (PGV) and peak ground acceleration (PGA) contours are produced for use in
engineering design. As the DST-IITR installed stations were not operative during this earthquake,
ground motion simulations from this work will serve as an important source response evaluation of
critical infrastructural facilities.
