ok here is a 65 ton capacity low speed trailer from BEML, the current design might not be this one or or a modified design of this one, but what I suppose is that this is not a missile transporter truck with all wheel drive or multiple axle drive like his one.
A russian missile TEL truck with 6 axle drive.

Probably the trailer is a BEML product, the tractor truck may be finalised later on.

Canister-based trial of Agni-V after monsoon
Final "Missile Ejection Test" in simulated conditions successful
The first canister based trial of the 5,000 km-plus, nuclear weapons capable Inter Continental Ballistic Missile, Agni-V, "in final induction configuration" is to be conducted after the monsoon season from Wheeler Island, off the Odisha coast.
As a prelude to the actual firing, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) technologists successfully carried out the final "Missile Ejection Test" from a canister in simulated conditions on Saturday, according to Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister and DRDO Chief, Avinash Chander.
The test validated all the parameters that would have to be met during the actual launch. The final test was completed, he said, and added that the launch from the canister would now be carried out from Wheeler Island after monsoon.
During the actual launch, the first stage of Agni-V would be ignited at a height of 25-30 metres after its ejection from the canister, DRDO sources said. The solid propellant-based gas generator at the bottom of the canister would provide a force equivalent to 300-370 tonnes to push Agni-V to a height of 30 metres when the first of the three stages gets ignited.
Ensuring mid-air ignition of the first stage would eliminate the need to use jet deflectors when the flames erupt as the missile takes off. Also, canister launch would provide operational flexibility to the user to fire the missile from anywhere and makes the transportation of the weapon system much easier and safer. "It is better to carry the missile in a canister than in an open vehicle," say the sources.

Missile Ejection Test Ahead of Agni-V's Canister Launch
BANGALORE: Scientists carried out a canister-based launch of a 50-tonne dummy missile in a simulated environment at an undisclosed facility near Hyderabad on Saturday. Sources confirmed to Express that the exercise, termed as MET-2 (Missile Ejection Test), was the second in a series conducted in the last six months.
The successful result of MET-2 has given confidence to Defence Research and Development Organisation( DRDO) scientists to go ahead with the critical canister launch of 5,000 km-plus range nuclear-capable Inter Continental Ballistic Missile(ICBM) Agni-V later this year.
The Agni-V has been successfully test-fired twice in the last two years from a conventional launcher. V G Sekaran, Director General (Missiles and Strategic Systems), DRDO, too confirmed the launch, but refused to give any details.
A senior scientist, who is part of the launch team, said that during Saturday's mission all interfacing elements of the missile were tested. "The weight and other features (minus the warhead and propulsion system) matched that of an Agni-V and the results are really satisfactory. High-speed cameras and onboard telemetry systems captured the sequence that lead to the ejection of the missile from the canister.
The dummy missile went to a height of 30 meter and fell apart 15 meter away from the launch point. With this launch, we have proved the maturity in offering a canister-based launch system for a missile weighing 50 tonnes," the scientist, requesting anonymity, said.
Canisterised missiles are normally preferred by the users as they can be transported at ease and are also simple to handle.
"The gas generator inside the canister ejects the missile up to about a height of 30 meter and then the motor can be ignited to fire the missile. Hence, we need not add a jet deflector on the launcher. The strength of the surface of the launch pad is not a critical factor either," he added.
In addition, a canister-based missile offers the option to launch it at a very short notice and with less manpower. The DRDO kept the launch activities under complete wraps with the officials refusing to divulge the details of the facility as well.
"The launch site is near Hyderabad and it was commissioned a year back. It is now being developed as an exclusive facility for such trials. We are planning to conduct some more missile related tests from this facility in the months ahead," he said.

Missile Ejection Test Ahead of Agni-V's Canister Launch - The New Indian Express
The facilities needed to store missiles and associated equipment are seriously lacking in India, giving rise to speculation that India has very small number of longer range Agni missiles.
The operational status of Agni missiles is not in public domain but physical infrastructure is difficult to hide.
Can anybody point to actual units and their equipment holdings from public sources.

Indian long range ballistic missiles are deployed with units that report to the SFC, the 334 and 335 missile groups both based at Secunderabad are believed to operate the Agni 1 and Agni-2 series with upto 12 TELs for each type operational at any given point, The Agni 3 is also believed to be operational but no information in the public domain on that exists.

First Canister Launch of Agni-V Soon
BALASORE: Tays after China flight-tested an upgraded version of its 10,000-km range Dongfeng-31B missile, which could reach most of the US and European cities, India is all set for the first canister-launch of Agni-V missile in a bid to reinforce its nuclear deterrence.
Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation, the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Agni-V could target all of Asia and parts of Africa and Europe. It is part of the Agni series of missiles developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme.
Defence sources said the Agni-V test would be followed by trials of two other variants of Agni missiles and indigenous subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay, whose first test had failed last year. Though the test schedules have not been finalised, Agni-V is expected to be launched by this month-end. "After the developmental test, the DRDO is likely to carry out the first user associate launch of 4,000-km Agni-IV missile and the armed forces would conduct a user trial of 2,000-km Agni-II missile. Both the tests are being planned in November, followed by the second test of Nirbhay missile," the sources informed.
Preparation has begun at Wheeler Island test facility off the Odisha coast for the proposed test-firing. In June, the DRDO scientists had successfully carried out the final missile ejection test from a canister in simulated conditions. However, all the parameters would have to be met during the actual launch. Earlier, the Agni-V missile has been tested successfully twice from mobile launchers. While its first test was conducted on April 19, 2012, the second one was carried out on September 15 last year from the launching complex-IV of the Integrated Test Range. With a canister-launch system to impart higher road mobility, the missile would give the armed forces greater operational flexibility than the earlier-generation of Agni missiles.
