FYI,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.
