Abstract
The Indian plate is essentially coincide Indian sub continental dimension. The Indian Plate is a
major tectonic plate spanning the equator in the eastern hemisphere. Moving this plate and inter attract to
the Eurasian plate the collision is activated as a result developed in fold mountain of Himalayas. The
triangulated Indian plate is broadly expanded between the Indian Ocean and Himalayas and also visible
the high concentration of northern movement of this plate. These mechanisms prove that the Indian plate
is highly strength and more constructive by geological and physiographic set up of Indian continent. The
Indian shield region consists of various complex rift zones and several shear/thrust zones. Indian shield
region is categorized as Stable Continental Region. In this regard the peninsular plateau is a chamber of
mechanical force which works as dynamic tectonic engine of Indian subcontinent and sub press the Indian
plate northwardly. It is estimated that the peninsular plateau is most formational striking engine of the
power and strength of Indian plate.
