India's Nuclear Forces, 2002

The size and composition of India's nuclear arsenal is difficult to determine. From various sources, we estimate that India has a stockpile of approximately 30-35 nuclear warheads (fewer than Pakistan), which it is thought to be expanding. The Indian Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) stated that the series of five nuclear test explosions in May 1998 involved both fission and fusion designs. http://www.thebulletin.org/issues/nukenotes/ma02nukenote.html
