According to the SIPRI 2026 report, India's nuclear arsenal has grown to 190 warheads, surpassing Pakistan's 170. For the first time, India has deployed 12 nuclear warheads during peacetime, marking a significant policy shift. While China leads in the region with 620 warheads, India's modernization focuses on long-range capabilities to deter regional threats. Globally, Russia and the US remain the largest nuclear powers with over 5,000 warheads each.
