4	Dhanush	About 350 km	Ship-launched ballistic missile derived from the Prithvi family; naval strategic delivery system.
5	Agni-I	About 700–1,200 km	Indigenous short-range ballistic missile; strategic system with a successful test in May 2026.
6	Agni-II	About 2,000–3,000 km	Indigenous medium-range ballistic missile; operational status reported.
7	Agni-III	About 3,000–3,500 km or more	Indigenous intermediate-range ballistic missile; operational status reported.
8	Agni-IV	About 3,500–4,000 km	Indigenous intermediate-range ballistic missile; successfully test-fired in August 2026.
9	Agni-V	Over 5,000 km	Indigenous long-range ballistic missile; strategic system with MIRV technology demonstrated.
10	Agni-P (Agni-Prime)	Up to about 2,000 km	Next-generation canisterised ballistic missile; road-mobile version reported inducted, with further launcher development demonstrated.
11	Agni-VI	Not officially confirmed	Reported future missile concept; development and operational status are not publicly confirmed.
12	Prahaar	About 150 km	Indigenous tactical ballistic missile programme; developmental status should be verified through official updates.
13	Pralay	About 150–500 km	Indigenous conventional quasi-ballistic missile; undergoing development and induction-related activities.
14	Shaurya	About 700–1,900 km (reported)	Canister-launched, solid-fuelled quasi-ballistic missile; public service details are limited.
15	K-15 Sagarika (B-05)	About 700–750 km	Indigenous submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) associated with India's nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines.
16	K-4	About 3,500 km	Indigenous submarine-launched ballistic missile; successfully tested, with operational details not fully public.
17	K-5	Not officially confirmed	Reported future submarine-launched ballistic missile programme; specifications and status remain uncertain.
18	K-6	Not officially confirmed	Reported future submarine-launched ballistic missile concept; no confirmed operational status.
19	Advanced Agni MIRV System	Based on the associated Agni missile	Advanced ballistic missile system demonstrated with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles in May 2026; not a separate officially named missile family.

Notes:

Ballistic missiles travel on a largely ballistic trajectory after their powered flight phase.
Agni-I to Agni-V and Agni-P are important systems in India's land-based ballistic missile programme.
K-15 and K-4 belong to India's submarine-launched ballistic missile programme.
Dhanush is a ship-launched ballistic missile, while K-series missiles are designed for submarine launch.
Pralay and Shaurya are often described as quasi-ballistic systems in public references.
Agni-VI, K-5 and K-6 are included only as reported future programmes, not confirmed operational missiles.
Ballistic missile defence interceptors such as PAD, AAD and PDV are excluded because they intercept incoming missiles rather than serve as conventional strike ballistic missiles.
All ranges are approximate and may differ by variant and source. Inclusion does not establish current operational deployment.
