The problem is we do not proclaim that. It is the US who monitor our test ,attest that only US and China are the 2 countries that conduct real field test of hypersonic vehicle.
And you see, Indian brag again. You have so far conducted none of hypersonic vehicle. A free falling ballistic warhead is not a hyersonic vehicle. It does not have air breathing propulsion which so called scramjet. Nor can it change course dramatically like a real cruise missile.
If that so. Pakistan will have a hypersonice vehicle weapon too. Since their ballistic missile can attain mach 7.5 speed too.
Passive test of Scram jet was done on board sounding rocket in 2010 by ISRO to study aero-dynamic characteristics ...
The field test of this scramjet engine by DRDO which is independent programme will be undertaken this year ...
This has been planned since 2011 . The article posted above from tarmacblogspot actually is from 2011 .
So several technologies, subsystems involved are being tested ...and as was forecasted the formal test of HSTDV will take place this year ...
No boasting here ..... we are just discussing what is in the offing .
