Uses the India detail table (about 1.2 km per pixel) where available, otherwise the world table (about 4.9 km per pixel). The Maldives and other atoll nations are poorly resolved at both.
Each figure is the seabed exposed inside a rough box drawn around the named shelf, from the world table. Boxes overlap land, but only seabed is counted.

Bathtub model: any land lower than the chosen level is shown as sea, with inland basins masked. It ignores ice sheets, land rebound, erosion and sediment. Elevation from Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen, built from SRTM, GMTED2010, ETOPO1, 3DEP and other public sources). Boundaries: Natural Earth. Vertical accuracy of the elevation data is several metres in most places, so 1 m steps are indicative only.
