If India's test succeeds, it will become the sixth country globally to possess the capability.
One of the key features of the K-6 missile is its speed. It can reportedly reach speeds up to Mach 7.5, making it nearly impossible to intercept using traditional air defence systems.
The missile is expected to have a range of up to 8,000 kilometers.
A land-based variant of the K-6 is also planned after successful trials.
According to several reports, the Indian Navy is preparing to conduct sea trials of the K-6 missile.
If successful, trials will also be conducted from aircraft carriers in future phases.
