India conducts successful test of indigenous Pralay missile

India’s defence authorities announced that the indigenously developed Pralay missile was successfully test‑fired, demonstrating the system’s operational readiness. The trial, carried out under controlled conditions, achieved all planned flight parameters, confirming the missile’s performance as intended.

The successful test underscores India’s push for self‑reliance in strategic weaponry, reducing dependence on foreign suppliers. Defence officials highlighted that the Pralay missile adds a critical short‑range strike capability to the nation’s arsenal, enhancing deterrence and rapid response options.

Looking ahead, the missile is slated for integration with existing launch platforms and further validation trials before entering full service. The achievement reflects the broader Make‑in‑India initiative aimed at bolstering domestic defence manufacturing and technological expertise.
