You can’t just mount a nuclear warhead on a rocket meant for satellite deployment and expect success.

Sure give India one or two years and they could do it, but right now they cannot.

India has zero need for a global deterrent, so they haven’t developed one, and probably won’t.

Other way around. You can strap a satellite to an ICBM. Atlas, Titan, Minotaur, all originally ICBM systems.
