India is intensifying its efforts to bolster its nuclear capabilities, with a particular emphasis on developing longer-range weapons, according to a report by Sweden-based think-tank Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri). This strategic shift is driven by escalating tensions and perceived threats from neighbours China and Pakistan, the report stated.
According to the report, India and Pakistan appeared to be expanding their nuclear arsenals and developing new types of nuclear delivery systems.
In the Sipri Yearbook 2023 released on Monday, the think-tank pointed out that India appears to be placing growing emphasis on longer-range weapons, including those capable of reaching targets across China.
