Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 104,490 km² of Odisha at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 27,930 km², ranking 5th of 35 regions of India.
Year by year
Detected area per year, km². Area of 0.01° cells with at least one detection in the year.
The busiest year was 2021, with 46,520 km² detected; the quietest was 2020, with 12,070 km². The 2021–2025 average is 11% higher than the 2012–2016 average.
Through the year
Share of all fire-days 2012–2025 by month. A fire-day is one cell with a detection on one day.
February, March and April together hold 74% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 6 March 2021, with detections in 6,764 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 104,490 km² with at least one detection, 58% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 26,000 | 25% |
| 2 years | 18,100 | 17% |
| 3 to 5 years | 35,380 | 34% |
| 6 to 10 years | 23,180 | 22% |
| 11 years or more | 1,820 | 1.7% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 20.75, 85.25 and holds 8.3% of the region's fire-days.

- How these figures are madeDetected area, cells, and the single-satellite record.
Detected area counts every 0.01° cell with at least one VIIRS detection, so a small fire counts as a whole cell and a fire missed by cloud or between passes is absent. Borders: Natural Earth 1:10m. 2012 begins on 20 January.
