Shaurya missile uses a two-stage solid propellant system, providing high thrust for its hypersonic trajectory. The solid propulsion enables rapid acceleration and is suitable for its tactical ballistic missile role.

Prithvi II uses a single-stage liquid propulsion system, an evolution from Prithvi I with improved range and payload. The liquid fuel system provides the necessary thrust and control for extended-range tactical operations.

Prithvi III, also known as Dhanush, uses a two-stage system with solid propellant in the first stage for initial boost and liquid propellant in the second for precise guidance. This hybrid system combines solid thrust power with liquid control.
