Report Estimates India’s Nuclear Arsenal at 190 Warheads with Triad Delivery Systems
A recent report by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists estimates India has assembled up to 190 nuclear warheads and operates a nuclear triad comprising aircraft, land-based ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched systems. Key delivery platforms include Mirage 2000 and Jaguar aircraft, and the Agni missile family, with ranges extending up to nearly 6,000 km for Agni-V. India maintains strategic opacity, not publicly disclosing full capabilities or deployment details, while continuing to modernize its nuclear arsenal within its no first use doctrine.
