I guess I've quoted PINSTECH & could quote
another source to support that all of Pakistani nuclear tests were HEU based. I'd like to have a contradictory one from you.
How ignorant one could be? Varying range variants of same thing i.e. ballistic/cruise missiles are a
"Type of missiles" for you.

I hope you aren't a false flag to make other Pakistanis look stupid here.
Ballistic missile is only one type and India has more than 15-20
of variants of ballistic missiles which vary in range, platform, CEP, avionics and guidance. Prithvi Series, Agni series (along with 1P & 3P), BRBMs (Pralay, Prahaar & Pragati), Dhanush ASBM, SLBMs of K series of SLBM, hybrid Dhairya which are only & only ballistic missiles that doesn't make India capable of making an advanced short range AAM like ASRAAM. SFDR is still in early stages.
Putting a nuclear tip doesn't make the missile "advanced". You can put that even on a torpedo.
As far as Pakistan is concerned, any missile beyond 1k-1.5k range kilometers in conect of engaging with Pakistan. BRBMs are useless given NFU policy.
What it takes to make a cruise missile? Turbofans, seekers & actuation systems. What it takes to have MIRVs?
Bigger solid rocket motors for high altitude. Big carrier bus. Spin stabilized boosters. Miniaturized computers (Pak has tested carrier bus so far). Thrust vectoring systems.
Similarly, spectrum expands to using solid fuel instead of liquid, using lofted trajectories, navigation systems boosting CEPs which defines how "advanced" your missile is.
India's missile tech further expands to Stand Off Missiles, Laser Guided missiles, Directed energy weapons, multiple platforms for ATGMs, AAMs, AShMs, ABMs, SAMs, AAWs etc.. Care to elaborate how far Pakistani missile program expands beyond a small series of short & medium range ballistic & cruise missiles, boasting of which and declaring itself the best in world, they're never tired? How many kinds of reactor techs Pakistan has mastered? How many of LWR & PWRs? Why wasn't invited to ITER?
Instead of using the types of missiles, I can list up or quantify the "number" of involved required technologies to get integrated to make any kind of missiles in world. India has demonstrated MIRVs & ASATS long ago within multiple satellite launches and exo atmospheric interceptors.
Moreover, India doesn't even need lofted trajectory solid fueled missiles, leave alone MIRVs to tackle Pakistani air defences unlike Pakistan who has to have every existing stealth measure to strike in given Indian ABMs. India deploys ready to fire sea based nuke. Hence, retaliatory nuclear attack will come in most of part of world in minutes and seconds.
All I see the program exists somehow, calling it extensive is unreasonable nationalistic chest thumping.
