History

This section is an excerpt from Abdul Kalam Island § Integrated Test Range. The Integrated Test Range (ITR) is a missile testing facility composed of two complexes - Launch Complex-IV (LC-IV) located on Abdul Kalam Island and Launch Complex-III (LC-III) located at Chandipur.

As of April 2024, DRDO is working to establish a missile test range at Junput area in West Bengal. The location is 177 km from Kolkata, 40 km from Digha and 70 km from Chandipur. The Range will cover an area of 8.73 acres. The project received approval from Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

On 10 October 2024, the Cabinet Committee on Security approved the proposal for the establishment of a new missile testing range in Nagayalanka region in Andhra Pradesh. This will likely be the revival of the Machilipatnam Test Range Project.
