Don't make excuses, we want exact accuracy which hits right in the heart of the target
No one does that.

DRDO talk too much because they know people have high expectation and they cant meet that. So they just end up making citizens feel good and safe. Meanwhile govt goes around buying stuff and everybody blames forces.

Is this report true which was posted by OP?
India successfully test fires indigenous Akash missile
Bhubaneswar: India Wednesday test fired its Akash surface-to-air missile from a defence base in Odisha, an official said.
The indigenously developed missile, with a 27-km range and an effective ceiling of 15 km, was test fired from the Integrated Test Range of Chandipur in the coastal district of Balasore, 230 km from here.
"It was a trial by the Indian Air Force," test range director M.V.K.V. Prasad told IANS.
The 700-kg all-weather missile can carry a 60-kg warhead at speeds of up to Mach 2.5. It can operate autonomously and simultaneously engage and neutralise different aerial targets.
It can be launched from static or mobile platforms, enabling flexible deployment by the armed forces.
Developed by DRDO, Akash is being produced by Bharat Dynamics Limited as the nodal production agency with the involvement of Bharat Electronics Limited and a large number of other industries.

India successfully test fired supersonic missile Akash from Odisha coast
Balasore: India today successfully test fired supersonic missile Akash from Odisha coast. Developmental test of supersonic missile 'Akash' conducted from the launch pad 3 of the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur.
The missile successfully hit the pilotless aircraft Lakshya at 2.43 PM 13 minutes after the aircraft took off.
It should be noted the supersonic surface to air missile has a range of about 25 km and carries a 55 kg fragmentation warhead that is triggered by proximity fuze. The missile uses state-of-art integral ram jet rocket propulsion system and the onboard digital autopilot ensures stability and control. The missile has all the way command guidance for full range of operation. Electro-pneumatic servo actuation system controls cruciform wings for agile response, and thermal batteries provide onboard power supply. The Radio Proximity Fuse has advanced signal processing features. Together with the pre fragmented warhead and safety arming mechanism, a high kill probability of maneuvering targets is assured.
In December,2007 Indian Air Force completed user trials for the Akash missile system. The trials, which were spread over ten days were successful and the missile hit its target on all five occasions. Before the ten-day trial at Chandipur, the Akash system's ECCM Evaluation tests were carried out at Gwalior Air force base while mobility trials for the system vehicles were carried out at Pokhran. The IAF had evolved the user Trial Directive to verify the Akash's consistency in engaging targets.
The following trials were conducted: Against low flying near range target, long range high altitude target, crossing and approaching target and ripple firing of two missiles from the same launcher against a low altitude receding target. Following this, the IAF declared that it would initiate the induction of 2 squadrons strength (each squadron with 2 batteries) of this missile system, to begin with. Once deliveries are complete, further orders would be placed to replace retiring SA-3 GOA (Pechora) SAM systems. In February 2010, the Indian Air Force ordered six more squadrons of the Akash system, taking orders to eight of the type. The Indian Army is also expected to order the Akash system.

Akash missile test-fired successfully
The supersonic surface-to-air missile Akash was successfully test-fired from the Chandipur Test Range here this afternoon.
According to reports, the missile successfully hit the pilotless aircraft Lakshya at 2.43 PM 13 minutes after the aircraft took off.
According to the sources, the missile will have another two rounds of test.
Being the first indigenously designed, developed and produced air defence system of India, Akash has a strike range of approximately 25 km.
The multi-target, multi-directional, all-weather air-defence system consisting of surveillance and tracking radars is designed to enable integration with other air defence command and control networks through secured communication links.
Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Akash is being produced by Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) as the nodal production agency with the involvement of Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and a number of other set-ups
