The fuel used for the core of India's first atomic bomb was plutonium. See the related links for a full explanation of the international context and internal military/political thinking leading to its development.

Many other elements were used elsewhere in this bomb. These included: polonium, platinum, tantalum, uranium, and beryllium. The explosives used were a RDX-TNT mixture and Baratol, similar to the US Gadget and Fat Man bombs, The detonators used lead azide.
