Unknown HGV...looks like a variation of the Agni-1P's RV with addition of forward fins:

DRDO is for sure putting their new Hypersonic Wind Tunnel to good use!

@Nilgiri

Excellent finds. This is great to see.

This thing is probably our equivalent project for the Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) to defeat hypersonic threats -

In a major fillip to India’s pursuit of true-blue hypersonic missiles, DRDO has successfully carried out a cutting-edge Active Cooled Scramjet Combustor ground test for 120 seconds for the first time. Former DRDO chief and NITI Ayog member Dr V K Saraswat speaks to Deputy Editor Snehesh Alex Philip to explain why this is so important.
