The Agni missile (is a family of Medium to Intercontinental range ballistic missiles developed by India under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. As of 2008, the Agni missile family comprises three deployed variants:
Agni-I short range ballistic missile, 700 - 800 km range.
Agni-II medium range ballistic missile, 2,500 km range.
Agni-III intermediate range ballistic missile, 3,500 km range.
There will not be an Agni-IV missile, with DRDO leapfrogging from intermediate range Agni-III to a standard ICBM possibly.
Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile, 5,000 - 6,000 km range (under development).
Agni-I was first tested at the Interim Test Range in Chandipur in 1989, and is capable of carrying a conventional payload of 1000 kg (2,200 lb) or a nuclear warhead. Agni missiles consist of one (short range) or two stages (intermediate range). These are rail and road mobile and powered by solid propellants.
