== Variant ==

=== Pragati ===
The export variant of the system is the Pragati surface to surface missile. It was unveiled for the first time by DRDO at ADEX 2013 in Seoul, South Korea.<ref>{{cite news|title=India develops new surface-to-surface missile 'Pragati'|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pragati-drdo-army-south-korea-akash-adex-2013/1/320800.html|access-date=28 November 2013|newspaper=India Today|date=29 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203004415/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pragati-drdo-army-south-korea-akash-adex-2013/1/320800.html|archive-date=3 December 2013|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Rout|first=Hemant Kumar|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2014/nov/05/Tactical-Missile-Pragati-Readied-for-Export-678975.html|title=Tactical Missile Pragati Readied for Export|work=The New Indian Express|date=5 November 2014|access-date=16 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180217082607/http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2014/nov/05/Tactical-Missile-Pragati-Readied-for-Export-678975.html|archive-date=17 February 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Pragati has a higher range of 170 km and shares 95 percent of Prahaar's hardware components.<ref name="jdw-28oct13"/>

== Pranash ==
Due to limited 150 km (93 mi) range of Prahaar, the [[Indian Army]] wanted a new tactical ballistic missile with range of 200 km. The configuration of the new missile called Pranash has been frozen by [[Defence Research and Development Organisation|DRDO]] with the developmental trials beginning from 2021. It will carry a conventional warhead, powered by single-stage solid propellant which will be offered for user trials within two years. India is looking for exporting this missile to friendly nations as it will come outside the purview of [[Missile Technology Control Regime]] (MTCR) which restricts export of delivery vehicle above 300 km range.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/india-to-develop-200-km-range-pranash-missile/story-eev9HZEZo2m6ADnIjSnvcP.html|title=India to develop 200-km range tactical ballistic missile|date=2020-02-06|website=Hindustan Times|language=en|access-date=2020-02-12}}</ref>
