India has carried out the successful launch of Intermediate Range Agni-Prime Missile from a Rail based Mobile launcher system. This next generation missile is designed to cover a range up to 2000 km and is equipped with various advanced features.

DRDO, in collaboration with the Strategic Forces Command (SFC), has carried out the successful launch of Intermediate Range Agni-Prime Missile from a Rail based Mobile launcher system, under a full operational scenario on September 24, 2025. This next generation missile is designed to cover a range up to 2000 km and is equipped with various advanced features.

The first-of-its-kind launch was carried out from a specially designed Rail based Mobile Launcher having the capability to move on Rail network without any pre-conditions. It provides for cross country mobility and has the capability to launch within a short reaction time with reduced visibility. It is self-sustained and is equipped with all independent launch capability features including the state-of-the-art communication systems and protection mechanisms.

The Missile trajectory was tracked by various ground stations and it was a text book launch meeting all mission objectives. This successful launch will enable futuristic rail based systems induction into services. The launch was witnessed by senior scientists of DRDO and Officers of Strategic Forces Command.

The Road Mobile Agni-P has already been inducted into the services after a series of successful flight trials.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO, SFC and the Armed Forces on successful test of Intermediate Range Agni-Prime missile and stated that this flight test has put India in the group of select nations which have developed canisterised launch system from the rail network.
