Abstract

The rate of convergence of the Indian Plate with respect to Eurasia has been obtained using IGS GPS stations at Hyderabad (HYDE) and Bangalore (IISC), in conjunction with a select set of other IGS stations. The rates obtained for HYDE and IISC are 37.09±1.4 and 35.68±1.7 mm/yr, respectively. The difference in the velocities of these two peninsular Indian stations with respect to Eurasia necessitated a fresh investigation into possible deformation between HYDE and IISC. Separate processing of the baseline with ambiguity resolution suggests a differential motion of 5.01±0.6 mm/yr between the two GPS sites, with HYDE moving S68°E relative to IISC. The available geological and geophysical data also suggest that this part of peninsular India is undergoing internal deformation.
