It then used the first stage of this system to develop the 700 km range single-stage Agni-1, which was first tested in January 2002 Weighing 12 tonne with a length of 15 metres, Agni-1 has a range of 700–900 km [7] and is capable of carrying a conventional payload of 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) or a nuclear warhead [1] at a speed of 2.5 km/s.

Agni-I (Agni "Fire") is a short-range ballistic missile [1] that was developed by DRDO of India in the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program.It is a single-stage missile that was developed after the Kargil War to fill the gap between the 250 km (160-mile) range of the Prithvi-II missile and the 2,500 km (1,600-mile) range of the Agni-II.
According to sources, Agni-VI missile is likely to carry up to 10 MIRV warheads [2] [6] and will have a strike range of 12,000 km, [1] though DRDO has refused to confirm the missile's range. [5] A senior DRDO scientist was quoted as saying that the new generation Agni-VI missile will be sleeker, easily transportable and would be readily deployed.
A technology demonstrator for re-entry technology called Agni was added to IGMDP as Prithvi was unable to be converted to a longer ranged missile. The first flight of Agni with re-entry technology took place in 1989. [10] The re-entry system used resins and carbon fibres in its construction and was able to withstand a temperature of up to 3000 °C.
