This document summarizes the tectonic evolution of peninsular India. It discusses the major physiographic divisions and tectonic terranes that make up the Indian shield, including the Archean Dharwar, Bastar, Singhbhum, Chhotanagpur, and Bundelkhand cratons. It also describes the Proterozoic mobile belts and basins, as well as the Gondwana terranes. Finally, it mentions the Deccan Volcanic Province and provides a timeline of the tectonic events that have shaped peninsular India over the past 3.6 billion years. Key sources consulted for the information are listed.
