List of Indian military missiles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Indian Armed Forces uses various types of ballistic and cruise missiles.[1][2] In India, the Defence Research and Development Organisation is the major body that is involved in the research and development of missiles.[3] Public sector units and some of the private organizations are involved in the manufacture of the missiles, often in collaboration with foreign manufacturers.[4] India also procures missiles from foreign manufacturers and agencies.[5]
