It continues into the Rigvedic period, the early part of the Vedic period. It is succeeded by the Iron Age in India, beginning in around 1000 BCE.

Harappan Period at peak, c. 2600 - 1900 BCE. The Bronze Age in the Indian subcontinent began around 3300 BCE. [citation needed] The Indus Valley region was one of three early cradles of civilisation in the Old World; the Indus Valley civilisation was the most expansive, [3] and at its peak, may have had a population of over five million.

According to Jarrige, period I of Nausharo corresponds to Mehrgarth VII, while periods II and III were during the mature Harappan civilization. [3] The more detailed chronology of Nausharo is usually given as follows, Period IA c. 2900-2800 BC; Period IB c. 2800-2700 BC; Period IC c. 2700-2600 BC; Period ID c. 2600-2550 BC (transition period)
