The majority of Indian cities having populated one million or more fall under seismic zones III, IV and V according to the seismic microzonation manual (2011). However, the expected damages and loss of lives due to earthquakes, quite different within the specified seismic zone, mostly the level of damage during the earthquakes depend on the regional geological, geotechnical, geomorphological characteristics and the size of the earthquake influenced by different seismic sources like faults, lineaments and shear zones. The prime objective of the current study is to develop the seismotectonic map to the proposed capital region of Andhra Pradesh (AP) state, India. The selected area for capital to the state of Andhra Pradesh has situated in zone III as per the seismic code IS 1893:2016. In the present study to understand the seismicity and to identify different seismic sources, the study area extended about 300 km radial distance from Velgapudi (16° 52′ N, 80° 51′ E) village as a centre. A total number of 219 events and 22 seismic sources (17 faults, two lineaments and three shear zones) identified with the study area. The spatial distribution of the seismicity shown in the seismotectonic map with the size of 0.5 Mw interval starting from 3.0 Mw is followed by different seismic sources.
