Torrid Zone is south of Tropic of Cancer, in India it passes through Gujarat (passing through middle of Cutch), Madhya Pardesh (Sanchi), Chattisgarh, Jharkhand (Ranchi), West Bengal, Tripura & Mizoram. South of these are the states of Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Maharshtra, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala & Puducherry (Union Territory). That is half of the country. The land's end of Indian mainland, Cape Kanya kumari (Cape Comorin as per European version) is about 8°N (that makes it about 550 miles) from Equator.
I live in Hyderabad (capital of Andhra Pradesh) where the noon is at the zenith on May 5 (going north) & August 8 (going south). Except on the Tropic of Cancer that Sun touches on June 21, the other places Sun crosses twice, while going north & going south.
