Could be , after all threat perception evolves gradually. Lets see how it goes once the phase 2 start testing.
A published paper from 2019 by some from PGAD group , attached file below
Looking back, last AD related tender I kept a screenshot of was the previous test related. It was probably 2 lot delivery by the 2 L1 L2 bidders, so another test must be on sometimes next year maybe. I don't remember who won the bidding.
@Fatalis sir seems L1 and L2 is not awarded yet and it was re-tendered, possibly will take some time. Not bad, should be ready by the time they get ready to test and the AD target missile launch site also becomes ready perhaps.
If AD-2 is about shooting down exo-atmos BM of higher range, that would mean we have both a target missile that can mimic such high range BM (aka tweaking a Prithvi as target is no more an option, and aka we need to have missile tech of longer 10000km range naturally) AND we also have proper telemetry, target tracking of very long range adversary BM targets. Right ? Every bit of update we are now getting suggests exactly the similar development work happening. Long range radars, shipborne telemetry tracking, deep space sat based tracking, high res imaging systems, BMD on ship, upcoming dedicated BM target missile launch site being prepared.

India using Israeli supplied ELM-2090 Strategic Early Warning dual band radar system to track all Pakistani missiles tests/launches.The system based in Udaipur has a range of 2500 km and has 10,000 TRMs: Report
Could be AAD, could be something else. Sourced from an industrial event some time ago which I saw in a video.
It was in the above video but some glitches are there so I am not sure what it is. These things are huge in size.
The 70-ton missile cannisters are manufactured by a company named Shiva Engineering Works.
The well secretive project P197 under PGAD finally showing signs of good progress. integration work about to start in next few months.
Quite a lot of sections, 2 motor stages at least so sort of 3 staged.

AD target launch site civil works tender contract was awarded about 10 or so days ago. That's the hardstanding platform making work, like how the launchpad 4 in ITR is, with a center hard stand where the truck is parked for firing.
So things happened 
I guess many are happy , below is a clip, very good catch.
