"A high-level meeting of the Defence Ministry cleared the acquisition of around 120 missiles for the armed forces and their deployment along the borders," a senior defense source was quoted by the news agency as saying.
According to ANI, Pralay missiles can hit targets at a distance of up to 500 kilometers (310 miles) and are difficult to intercept due to ability to change their path.
The development of the missile began in 2015. In December 2021, it was successfully tested twice by the Indian armed forces.
