The latest official comments from DRDO sources, dated November 1, 2025, confirm that the indigenous MPATGM missile is on track for induction by 2026 after completing major trials, including critical warhead penetration and user evaluation tests at Pokhran in August 2024. DRDO leadership emphasized the missile’s high accuracy, lethality, and adaptability across diverse weather and terrain conditions, particularly high-altitude areas like Ladakh. Defence Ministry officials have expressed strong confidence in the system’s capabilities. Manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, the MPATGM is expected to enter serial production by 2027. The final user trials scheduled for 2026 will validate its readiness for operational deployment, marking a significant step in modernizing the Indian Army’s infantry anti-tank arsenal with this advanced, fully indigenous missile system.
