The Nuclear Command Authority(NCA) is responsible for command,control operational decisions regarding India’s nuclear weapons programme.

The Agency Executive is Prime Minister Narendra Modi

On January 4, 2003, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) constituted the Political Counciland the Executive Council of the NCA.

The Executive Council gives its opinion to the Political Council, which authorises a nuclear attack when deemed necessary.

While the Executive Council is chaired by the National Security Advisor (NSA), the Political Council is chaired by the Prime Minister. This mechanism was implemented to ensure that Indian Nukes remain firmly in Civilian Control and that there exists a sophisticated Command and Control (C2) mechanism to prevent their accidental or unauthorised use.
