=== First trial ===
The first trial occurred successfully on 22 September 2020, from an Arjun tank with an inert warhead. The missile engaged a target kept at a distance of 3 km.<ref name=":2"/>

=== Second trial ===
Another successful missile firing occurred 1 October 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Philip |first=Snehesh Alex |date=2020-10-05 |title=Not just Arjun, DRDO looking to get indigenous anti-tank missile on Russian T-90 tanks too |url=https://theprint.in/defence/not-just-arjun-drdo-looking-to-get-indigenous-anti-tank-missile-on-russian-t-90-tanks-too/516663/ |access-date=2022-06-29 |website=ThePrint |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Third trial ===
On 29 June 2022, DRDO successfully tested the missile engaging a target from minimum and maximum range. This time DRDO also solved the dimensional constraints of a tank launched ATGM.<ref>{{Cite news |others=Special Correspondent |date=2022-06-28 |title=Indigenous ATGM test-fired from Arjun tank at Karakoram range |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/indigenous-atgm-test-fired-from-arjun-tank-at-karakoram-range/article65577310.ece |access-date=2022-06-29 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

=== Fourth trial ===
On 4 August 2022, another successful test occurred, engaging a target from minimum to maximum range to check performance consistency.<ref>{{Cite news |author=ANI |date=2022-08-04 |title=DRDO successfully test-fires laser-guided ATGMs |url=https://theprint.in/india/drdo-successfully-test-fires-laser-guided-atgms/1069363/ |access-date=2022-08-04 |website=ThePrint |publisher=Printline Media |language=en-US}}</ref>
