The Agni I has a range of 700-800 km while the Agni-II has a range of 2,0002,500 km. They are claimed to be a part of the "credible deterrence" against China and Pakistan. The Agni-II can only reach most parts of western, central and southern China. With the successful test of Agni-III which has a range of 3500 km, it falls within the reach of most major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
And Agni 5 with 5000 KM will cover whole of china ...so i honestly don't see any reason to develop and ICBM because Agni 5 is alsmost at that range....Secondly the range of these missiles is inversely proportional to payload...so i am not sure why we need a specific ICBM to the likes of US, Russia, China etc...
