First rail-based launch of Agni-1P MRBM! This significantly increases the number of potential launch points and makes pre-emptive destruction difficult.

The Indian Ministry of Defense announced the first test launch of the Indian medium-range Agni-Prime missile from a rail launcher. Agni-Prime is a two-stage, medium-range, surface-to-surface ballistic missile. The solid-fuel, two-stage Agni-Prime missile weighs 11 tons and has a warhead estimated to weigh up to 3,000 kg. The missile is 10.5 meters long and has a range of up to 2,000 km. This is the sixth launch of the missile; the first test launch of Agni-Prime took place in June 2021. Rail-based missile systems are in service with Russia, the United States, and China.

2.4m diameter - this thing is huge! Thicker than Trident-II D5, Bulava and even M51.
Most definitely ICBM-ranged with ~3 ton MIRVed payload as shown in that old chart.
But may not have their level of performance owing to lower performance carbon fibre composites. Do you know what level are we at? I think we benchmark against Toray Corporation's carbon fibre. I assume we haven't yet reached T-1000 maybe T-700.

maximum range of 120 kms demonstrating all in-flight manoeuvres as planned.
The next series will be ~300 km range apparently (with existing launcher maybe carrying 2).

India to procure 1,000 Rafael SPICE air-to-surface missiles | The Jerusalem Post
India is the biggest customer of Israeli defense industries, accounting for about 34% of all exports between 2020 and 2024.

8.7 Million for a glide kit seems an excessive even when you consider maintenance and support activities. For that price I’d buy a cruise missile.

"Among the many arms included in the deal are SPICE 1000 guidance kits"
.... there are other things regd the figure quoted, we will have to wait and see.
EDIT: Actually the 8.7 billion seems to refer to the total procurement clearance, which has a ton of other things:
Indian MoD Clears Procurement worth $8.8B
The Acceptance of Necessity includes Loitering Munitions, Lightweight Radars, Guided Rocket Ammunition for Pinaka MRLS, and Integrated Drone Detection & Interdiction System
