Tremors were also felt as far away as Islamabad in Pakistan and the Afghan capital Kabul, but not in neighbouring Nepal which was hit by a major quake in April.
The epicentre of the earthquake was 45km South-South West of Jarm in Afghanistan and 256km North of Kabul, according to USGS.
Hundreds of people raced from buildings onto the streets in Delhi while the quake was also felt in the Himalayan region of Kashmir.
