Excert from the Carnegie Endowment Website:

“The total number of warheads that India needs for credible minimum deterrence in a no-first-use scenario has not been articulated by the government. The requirements as estimated by Indian analysts vary widely, from a few dozen warheads at the lower end of the scale to over 400 warheads at the upper end. In terms of required yield, views range from 10- or 12-kiloton bombs to megaton monsters.”

Like I said... India’s need for nuclear warheads to deter both China & Pakistan means they have more than enough to obliterate Pakistan targets alone many times over.
