India to mark 10 years of 'Make in India', to launch long-range missile test

As India marks the 10th anniversary of the "Make in India" initiative, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is gearing up for a major strategic missile test. A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued by DRDO for the period between September 25 and September 30, signaling the possibility of a long-range missile launch. The test zone stretches over 1,700 kilometers, suggesting the involvement of a powerful, strategic missile.

DRDO's plan to conduct multiple



missile tests during September and October, and this latest announcement aligns with those projections. In recent weeks, DRDO has successfully tested a series of missiles, enhancing India's offensive and defensive missile capabilities.

"This NOTAM points to a highly strategic, long-range missile designed to bolster deterrence. DRDO has ramped up its missile testing program as part of a broader effort to strengthen India’s defence posture," a senior official familiar with the tests said.
