No, they are not!
Because:
1. India doesn't need tactical nuclear weapons: Indian army has enough confidence to stop any conventional attack from Pakistan!
2. India didn't develop its war art based on tactical nuclear weapons--you need more than hundreds times of nuclear test to perfect that. There are only 3 countries managed to do it: USA, USSR and French.
FYI,

No, we don't deploy any tactic nuclear weapon simply because we can't afford to have thousands of this kind of weapon even we have tested it.
Actually, we frankly told Americans: we don't recognize such thing. There is only nuclear weapon and non-nuclear weapon. As long as we saw a nuclear explosion in Chinese land, we will start a full scale nuclear war.

Then why we tested it?
