The surface-to-surface missile test was test-fired as part of a user-trial from the Abdul Kalam Island off Odisha coast.
Defence sources said Strategic Forces Command of Indian Army test-fired the missile and the night trial of Agni missile was successful.
The night trial of the ballistic missile with a strike range of 700 km was first conducted in April 2014, said sources.
The missile with a strike range of beyond 700 km has a specialised navigation system. It has already been inducted in the Indian Army.
