{{main|Guided Missiles of India#Diplomatic and Technological Hurdles}}
After India test-fired the first Prithvi missile in 1988, and the Agni missile in 1989, the [[Missile Technology Control Regime]] (then an informal grouping established in 1987 by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) decided to restrict access to any technology that would help India in its missile development program. To counter the [[MTCR]], the IGMDP team formed a consortium of [[DRDO]] laboratories, industries and academic institutions to build these sub-systems, components and materials. Though this slowed down the progress of the program, India successfully developed indigenously all the restricted components denied to it by the MTCR.<ref name="fl-missile-shield" />
===Regional influence===
Starting of India's missile program influenced Pakistan to scramble its resources to meet the challenge. As like India, Pakistan too faced hurdles to operationalize its program since education on space sciences was never sought. It took Pakistan decades and years of expensive trial errors before their program became feasible for military deployment.
