The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), India’s premier defence R&D institution, is advancing its hypersonic technology with ambitious plans for a 2000-kilometre range Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV). Beyond this milestone, DRDO has revealed plans to also explore the development of an HGV capable of delivering strikes at ranges of up to 15,000 kilometres, potentially placing any target worldwide within India’s reach.

India has been actively working on hypersonic technologies, with DRDO Prime’s focus being on the development of a 2000-kilometre HGV, This system is designed to address regional threats, leveraging hypersonic speeds to evade advanced missile defence systems.

The proposed 15,000-kilometer range HGV would elevate India’s strategic capabilities to a global scale. If developed, this system would offer The ability to neutralize high-value targets anywhere in the world. This capability would position India alongside global powers such as the United States, Russia, and China, which are also pursuing hypersonic technologies for strategic deterrence and power projection.

India’s entry into this elite club would not only enhance its defense posture but also shift the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.
