Agni missiles are long-range, nuclear weapons capable, surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. The first missile of the series, Agni-I was developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (lGMDP) and tested in 1989. After its success, the Agni missile programme was separated from the GMDP upon realizing its strategic importance.
According to sources, Agni-VI missile is likely to carry up to 10 MIRV warheads [2] [6] and will have a strike range of 12,000 km, [1] though DRDO has refused to confirm the missile's range.

Agni-I (Agni "Fire") is a short-range ballistic missile [1] that was developed by DRDO of India in the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program.It is a single-stage missile that was developed after the Kargil War to fill the gap between the 250 km (160-mile) range of the Prithvi-II missile and the 2,500 km (1,600-mile) range of the Agni-II.
Agni-Prime or Agni-P (Sanskrit: अग्नि; IAST: Agni; lit. Fire ) is a two-stage, surface to surface, canister-launched, road mobile and solid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile being developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as the sixth missile in the Agni series.
