Abstract

In this work, we make a review of the published literature on the magmatic, metamorphic, geochronological and tectonic evolutionary history of the Proterozoic mobile belts of western (cf. Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt), central (cf. Central Indian Tectonic Zone), eastern (cf. Chotanagpur Gneissic Complex), north-eastern (cf. Shillong-Plateau Gneissic Complex) and eastern (cf. Eastern Ghats Belt) India. We collate the key findings in this review to advocate a model of three-stage orogenesis (at ca. 2.1–1.7 Ga, ca.1.75–1.54 Ga and ca.1.06–0.90 Ga) to produce the final configuration of the Greater Indian Landmass as a miniature Rodinia.
