DRDO Successfully Flight-Tests Indigenous Pralay Missile

India’s DRDO successfully flight-tested the indigenous Pralay missile off the coast of Odisha on 5th November 2026. The trial was conducted at around 11:10 am from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha, and the Ministry of Defence also revealed that the missile met all the mission objectives.

The missile was designed and developed by Research Centre Imarat, Hyderabad, and the other DRDO laboratories. Bharat Dynamics Limited, one of its development-cum-production partners, produced the system.

The test was conducted during user evaluation trials with DRDO, armed forces and industry. “Successful evaluation of the system during trials has brought it closer to induction,” it added.

Pralay is an integral component of India’s indigenous conventional strike capabilities. The test also demonstrated the synergy among government research laboratories and domestic defence industries in the quest for tech self-reliance.

Why it matters: The test contributes to India’s efforts to bolster its indigenous missile inventory and increase military readiness.
