New  Delhi: The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is an initiative to develop a multi-layered ballistic missile defense system to protect India from ballistic missile attacks.   




Since the early 90s, India has faced the threat of ballistic missile attacks from Pakistan against which it has fought multiple wars in the past and also from China thus development of an anti-ballistic missile system began in late 1999,suggesting that India initiated the program in light of Pakistan's eschewing of a nuclear No first use policy and heightened tensions during the Kargil war including a possibility of full scale nuclear war.
