Answer» Answer: The Indian Plate or India Plate is a minor tectonic plate straddling the Equator in the Eastern Hemisphere. Originally a part of the ancient continent of Gondwana, India broke away from the other fragments of Gondwana 100 million years ago and began MOVING north.[2] Once fused with the ADJACENT Australia to form a single Indo-Australian Plate, recent STUDIES suggest that India and Australia have been separate PLATES for at least 3 million years and LIKELY longer.[3] The Indian Plate includes most of South Asia—i.e. the Indian subcontinent—and a portion of the basin under the Indian Ocean, including parts of South China and western Indonesia,[4][5] and extending up to but not including Ladakh, Kohistan and Balochistan.
