The tests were conducted by the Indian Air Force, which will be the first service to induct the Akash missiles in its inventory.
The People's Liberation Army Rocket (Missile) Force tested the new missile in the Bohai Sea.
DRDO scientists, who conducted the test, described it as a user's trial.
Describing the trial as "fully successful", the sources said, the sophisticated missile travelled for 19 minutes and covered 4,900 km.
The missile, developed by the DRDO, has a range of 3,500 km and it will be able to bring almost all parts of Pakistan and several areas of China within its reach, officials said.
The successful test will result in huge savings of replacement cost of missiles held in the inventory of the Indian Armed Forces.
The missile was aimed at a moving object, sources said.

India on Friday successfully test-fired an indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile, which is capable of destroying a hostile ballistic missile, from a test range off the Odisha coast. "At around 12.52 pm, the interceptor hit the target missile successfully at an altitude of about 15 kilometres," said Defence Research and Development Organisation spokesman Ravi Kumar Gupta.
It coincided with the test of the Prithvi missile conducted by India.
"The success of the mission assumes significance as DRDO scientists were able to 'continuously track the missile and feed its trajectory into computers to launch its interception."
The missile targeted a floating object supported by the pilot-less target aircraft 'Lakshya', defence officials said.
Pakistan on Monday successfully test-fired a nuclear capable ballistic missile with a range of 900 kilometers, days after testing a similar missile capable of hitting targets as far as 1,500 kilometers, bringing many Indian cities under its range.
The missile is capable of intercepting incoming targets at an altitude of 15 to 25 km was launched against multiple simulated targets of 1,500 km class ballistic missile.
