9	Agni-V	Over 5,000 km (reported)	Indigenous long-range ballistic missile; strategic system.
10	Agni-P (Agni-Prime)	Up to about 2,000 km (reported)	New-generation canisterised ballistic missile; induction and deployment status should be checked against current official announcements.
11	Agni-VI	Not officially confirmed	Frequently discussed as a possible future missile; a confirmed operational system has not been publicly established.
12	Prahaar	About 150 km	Indigenous tactical surface-to-surface ballistic missile programme; developmental status.
13	Pralay	About 150–500 km	Indigenous conventional quasi-ballistic missile; developmental and induction status subject to official updates.
14	Shaurya	About 700–1,900 km (reported)	Canister-launched, solid-fuelled quasi-ballistic missile; publicly reported strategic system.
15	K-15 Sagarika	About 700–750 km	Indigenous submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
16	K-4	About 3,500 km	Indigenous submarine-launched ballistic missile developed for strategic submarines.
17	K-5	Not officially confirmed	Reported next-generation submarine-launched ballistic missile programme; details remain limited.
18	K-6	Not officially confirmed	Reported future submarine-launched ballistic missile concept; public development details are limited.
19	BrahMos	About 290–450 km, depending on variant	Indo-Russian supersonic cruise missile; land-, ship- and air-launched versions exist. Land-launched versions are SSMs.
20	BrahMos extended-range variant	About 450 km or more, depending on variant	Extended-range BrahMos family; specific range depends on the variant and launch platform.

22	ITCM (Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile)	Not officially established for all variants	Indigenous cruise missile programme building on technology demonstrated by the Nirbhay programme.
23	LR-LACM	Long range; exact operational range not confirmed	Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile programme; developmental.
24	BrahMos-II	Not officially confirmed	Proposed hypersonic cruise missile programme; developmental concept.
25	ET-LDHCM	Not officially confirmed	Long-range hypersonic cruise missile programme; development status and specifications remain subject to official confirmation.

Notes:

Ranges are approximate and can vary by variant and source. Figures described as reported are not necessarily official operational specifications.
SSM means Surface-to-Surface Missile. This list includes land-launched ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as submarine-launched ballistic missiles for completeness.
Agni, Prithvi, Prahaar, Pralay and BrahMos are important surface-to-surface missile families associated with India.
Dhanush and the K-series are launched from naval platforms; they are included because they are part of India's broader surface/submarine-launched strike missile inventory.
Air-launched weapons such as BrahMos-A are not classified as surface-to-surface missiles when launched from aircraft.
Developmental, proposed and reported future systems are included for reference, but should not be treated as operational without official confirmation.
