This paper presents the variations of ground motion parameters with distance, for Mw 6.9 Sikkim 2011 earthquake, based on the ground motion records obtained from sixteen locations. Ground motions recorded at different stations located within 35-1000 km from the epicentre were collated and analysed for their ground motion parameters. It has been seen that the peak ground acceleration (PGA) near the source zone is high but as distance increase the value of PGA decreases. Based on the comparison between recorded PGA and estimated PGA from attenuation curves, it was observed that there is a need to revisit the ground motion predication equations and provide other correlations for better prediction of future structural design parameters. Predominant period also needs to be estimated region-specifically considering the prevalent seismicity, since the regional geology, source to site distance and site conditions vary place to place.
