There was, however, no report of any casualty.
According to the National Centre for Seismology, the epicentre of the quake was in the Andaman Islands region and at a depth of 10-km.
The earthquake occurred at around 6.19 pm.
"It's quite a normal phenomenon. The earthquake was not so powerful as to issue a tsunami warning," an officer of the National Centre for Seismology told PTI.
