Bangalore: A test of the nuclear-capable Agni-III missile will be conducted next year after rectifying a material-related fault that caused the failure of its first trial in July, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Director General M Natarajan said today.
DRDO scientists have found out the possible fault that caused the failure of the first test of Agni-III missile on July 9 and are rectifying it, Natarajan said.
"We have traced the possible fault and are attending to that. It involves certain mechanical modifications...That's going on," he told reporters at a press conference addressed by Defence Minister A K Antony.
The problem was material-related and there was no problem in the missile's rocket motor, or control, guidance and navigation systems, he said.

There was no problem with it. The problem was with its 2nd stage separation. India has already successfully launched a second stage missile. It was just poorly built and somebody made a mistake somewhere. Just needed to redo it the right way this time.
