nope mirv missiles have very special last stage which is the most critical .normal missiles doesn't have that.
Not necessarily

Nose section normally has a payload bus , which depending on internal volume of nose section and size and weight of article can carry either a single or multiple articles.

The payload bus has the necessary RCS and VTP to orient and maneuver itself to release the articles in a defined pattern

China already has systems similar to our PDV, no later than since 2012. Their BMD program isn't public however. They only announce big experiments.
That's why I said no effective program. Anyway if
Balloon goes up we might hit them with too many warheads to count let alone intercept. Hehe .

MIRV doesn't need different missile. Existing missile can be armed with MIRV .
Of course it need to be different.
The diameter of K4 is estimated 1.3 meter. In order to get MIRV, you will need a RV with base diameter around 50 cm which is smaller than any current RV that India already tested. So, in order to put on MIRV, India will need a bigger missile.

What is the progression from Ponton firing of K4 missile four times so far to actual firing from the nuclear submarine. How many more Ponton tests are needed until the missile is loaded on to INS Arihant and fired to let Chinese know that they are in our naval missile range.

The headline says that the missile was fired from Arihant but the actual news item states that it was fired from an underwater platform (pontoon ?)

India successfully test-fires nuclear-capable K-4 ballistic missile from INS Arihant

Arihant is underwater platform, so is Arighat and Pontoon, does Aridhaman or S4 exists well than it's too a underwater platform capable of firing K-4 :)

It was fired from Arihant ... People who are saying that it's still in development so it can't be fire from Arihant but in reality it was fired from Arihant in 2016 itself ... I have said that it was fired from Arihant and the next test will also be from Arihant very soon..

I was thinking along the same line. Although, you cannot help but think that the text of the article is quite ambiguous :) They should have specified in the body of the article too that it was fired from Arihant.
