The Centre had issued the warnings across the Indian Ocean after a massive earthquake, measuring 8.7 on the Richter scale, hit the Indonesian coast on Monday night.
"The earthquake does not appear to have generated tsunamis over the Indian region and, in view of this, the advise issued earlier by Indian Meteorological Department regarding possibility of tsunami stands cancelled," Port Blair and Chennai Disaster Management director S K Swami said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke to chief ministers of all coastal states and Andaman and Nicobar Lt Governor Ram Kapse. The army, navy and the air force were put on high alert.
People of the coastal states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Anadaman and Nicobar Islands had fled their homes after the government sounded the tsunami alert.
