It was introduced in 1970s as a second generation anti-tank weapon system. The weapon systems consists of Milan missile and the missile launch post. Its guidance system is based on Semi-Active Command-to-Line-Of-Sight (SACLOS) mode of operation using wire to link the missile and the launch post which provides anti-jam capability. Milan weapon system has been sold to more than 43 countries worldwide with more than 330,000 missiles and 10,000 firing units produced to date.

The missile guidance system has been qualified even for targets without infrared signature.

The Indan missile development was established between MBDA and Bharat Dynamics Limited in February 2005 during Aero India 2005 exhibition in Bangalore, India.
