India's defense technology has gotten back into the headlines. Satyanarayan Nuwal, chairman of Solar Industries India Ltd, recently pointed out that India’s new missile system BHARGAVASTRA can fire 60 micro-missiles at the same time, the number is much higher than any other country, including the United States. This statement is spurring on interest and pride as well as questions about what it means for India’s defense capabilities. In this article, we will focus on what BHARGAVASTRA is, why it matters, and how it is compared to other missile systems worldwide.
What Is BHARGAVASTRA?
BHARGAVASTRA is an Indian weapon system recently developed for a simultaneous strike with multiple micro-missiles. While countries such as the U.S., said Nuwal, can launch four missiles simultaneously, BHARGAVASTRA can simultaneously fire 60 micro-missiles. This is what will make it such a lethal system both in defense and on the battlefield. Micro-missiles are smaller than conventional missiles but can be extremely powerful. They’re capable of striking many targets instantly and with an elevated precision. A system capable of firing dozens of these at the same time may destroy enemy defenses and confer significant ground and power in combat.
This is Big 🔥

"In America or any other country, they can launch four missiles simultaneously. But Indian BHARGAVASTRA fires 60 micro-missiles at once.
NO SUCH SYSTEM exists anywhere else in the world to date..."

Why Is This a Big Deal?
If the claims of BHARGAVASTRA are true, it would be a great step for India's Defense industry. Most countries depend on missile systems that fire one or a few missiles, maybe at a time. It is indeed faster, but it’s smarter, a system capable of firing 60 missiles at once. That makes it possible to cover such a wide area, responding quickly and targeting flexibly. This kind of technology would lend itself to numerous situations, For example:
- Protecting borders from the crosshairs of various threats
- Making quick responses to enemy attacks
- Targeting multiple locations in one mission.
It also depicts that India is spending more and developing its own defence systems and more autonomy in military technology.
How It Compares Globally:
The United States, Russia, China and Israel boast sophisticated missile systems. U.S. systems, like the Patriot and HIMARS, are powerful but usually deliver fewer missiles simultaneously. Long-range capabilities Russia’s S-400 system China has developed multiple multi-launch systems, none of which are said to match the 60 missile power of BHARGAVASTRA. If BHARGAVASTRA works the way it says it’s going, this could put India to the fore of rapid-fire missile technology. But experts will have to test and validate its performance in real life before definitive assessments can be made.
The Role of Solar Industries:
Solar Industries India Ltd is a key player in India’s defense manufacturing space. The company has operated in components with explosives, ammunition and, now, missile systems. Under Satyanarayan Nuwal’s stewardship, Solar Industries had witnessed rapid growth and it also helped to facilitate India’s efforts to become more independent in defence production. The comment Mr. Nuwal made on BHARGAVASTRA reflects confidence in India’s innovation and engineering and speaks to the value in private companies partnering with government agencies to enhance national security.
What Comes Next?
An exciting announcement, but you need to wait for the official demonstrations and technical reviews. Defense systems will have to be properly tested before they can be used in the field. BHARGAVASTRA could be a game changer for India’s military strategy, if it clears these tests. That also sends a strong signal to the world: India is serious about defense and willing to lead in technology. This can lead to more partnerships, more exports, more international attention.
BHARGAVASTRA is a bold step in India’s defense story. A missile system that can shoot 60 micro-missiles at once is not only impressive, it is revolutionary. If successful, it could provide India with a competitive edge in contemporary war and enhance its global image. The world will be watching very closely as the country continues to innovate.
