Explanation

Under the Indian Constitution, the President is the head of state and has the constitutional authority to declare war or conclude peace treaties (Article 53 and 246). The Prime Minister and Council of Ministers exercise executive power but these specific powers rest with the President. Parliament can authorize resources for war but cannot formally declare it.
