Few days old, but this is video on Agni-Prime MRBM being launch from Train-Rail base mobile launcher. Similar thing that China and Russia already prepared.

When I read this, I always wonder why after all this year India still have faith with HAL ? They are late on delivering Tejas Mk1, late with Mk 1A then will definetely late again with Tejas Mk2.

They should let Tata group take over the project. Then again as coming from a country that also keep pushing SOE on strategic projects (no matter how many times those SOE screew up), I also understand why India Administration keep pushing HAL as projects implementor.
HAL is a state-owned firm with a huge network of connections & patronage. It can mobilise armies of politicians, trade unions (with their own connections, & although they fight HAL, they'd fight anyone trying to take it down harder), etc. It's very hard politically to move against it.
