This east coastal plain begins from the north with the plains fashioned by the Subarnarekha stream to increase to the south until Kanyakumari. It so stretches for nearly 1500 kilometer, with nearly a breadth of a hundred kilometer. to the east of this plain lies the intensive blue waters of the Bay of geographic area and to the west of the plain lies the remnants of Japanese staircase hills. Compared to the Western solid ground, the East solid ground is wider. The deltas of the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri rivers have shaped nearly twenty fifth of the realm of this plain. The soil of the deltas is extremely fertile thus agriculture is incredibly productive. Specially and delta of the river Krishna is extremely fertile and is understood because the ‘Granary of South India’.

The plain south of the mouth of the Krishna is termed Coromandel Coast and also the a part of the geographical area lying to the north of the mouth of the Krishna is termed the North Sircar solid ground. The Sand dunes Lagoons within the East Coastal plain: The East coastal plains show the presence of the many sand dunes, lagoons and styles of marshland. The sand dunes vary between one – four kilometer long and 60-65 meters tall. Between the sand dunes and also the coast lie the lagoons. they're connected to the ocean terribly slightly, e.g. – Chilka Lake within the Utkal coast, Kolleru and Pulicat lakes within the Andhra coast. The rocket is launching and satellite launching center of India, The house analysis Centre, is found within the island of Sriharikota lying within the Pulicat Lake. The sand dunes on the Tamil Coast ar known as ‘Theris’ by the locals.

Besides these, highlands or Tillas are seen on the east coast.It stretches from the Rann of Kachchh within the north to Kanyakumari in the South. To the East it's delimited by the steep slopes of the Western staircase and to the west lays the sea. Compared to the East solid ground, this West coastal plain is narrower. The west coastal plain becomes narrower bit by bit from the Kachchh coast to Kanyakumari, wherever it's narrower in contrast to the East solid ground with massive rivers and their wide mouths or massive deltas, the geographical region has short watercourse returning down fleetly from the western slopes of the Western staircase, the exhausting into the sea while not forming any deltas.
