Atmospheric ozone concentration and its change when earthquakes with magnitude greater than 5.0 on the Richter scale that occurred in some parts of India between August 2009 to January 2016 have been studied with the help of satellite data obtained from Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), and Ozone Monitoring Instrument. The ozone concentration was found to be low on the day of occurrence of earthquake, then increased gradually after the earthquake and reached a maximum value and thereafter reduced to its normal value. The enhancement in ozone concentration depends on the earthquakes magnitude, its depth, direction of wind and also the location of the epicenter.
