'''Credible minimum deterrence''' is the principle on which [[India]]'s [[nuclear strategy]] are based.

It underlines [[no first use]] (NFU) with an assured [[second strike]] capability and falls under [[minimal deterrence]], as opposed to [[mutually assured destruction]]. India's tentative nuclear doctrine<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indianembassy.org/policy/CTBT/nuclear_doctrine_aug_17_1999.html |title=Draft Report of National Security Advisory Board on Indian Nuclear Doctrine |last1=Mishra |first1=Brajesh |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20000116163847/http://www.indianembassy.org/policy/CTBT/nuclear_doctrine_aug_17_1999.html |date=August 17, 1999 |archivedate=January 16, 2000 |website= |publisher= |accessdate=May 15, 2013}}</ref><ref>Hosted at www.pugwash.org - ''[http://www.pugwash.org/reports/nw/nw7a.htm Draft Report of National Security Advisory Board on Indian Nuclear Doctrine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613052150/http://www.pugwash.org/reports/nw/nw7a.htm |date=2011-06-13 }}''</ref> was announced on August 17, 1999 by the secretary of the [[National Security Advisory Board]], [[Brajesh Mishra]].

Later, the draft was adopted with some modifications when the [[Nuclear Command Authority (India)|Nuclear Command Authority]] was announced on January 4, 2003. A significant modification was the dilution of the NFU principle to include nuclear retaliation to attacks by biological and chemical weapons.
