The Indian Armed Forces uses various types of ballistic and cruise missiles. [1] [2] In India, the Defence Research and Development Organisation is the major body that is involved in the research and development of missiles. [3] Public sector units and some of the private organizations are involved in the manufacture of the missiles, often in collaboration with foreign manufacturers. [4] India also procures missiles from foreign manufacturers and agencies. [5]
