It's a race that Indians have already lost.
However, if the Chinese restrict themselves to Indian missiles than even at 5 missile volleys per Indian missile, then, the Chinese would have missiles to spare.

Not if India is developing a BMD. If India can produce Akash missiles that perform the role of a BMD at 500 - 1000 a year which is doable then in 3 to 6years, China's missile advantage is negated.
Producing Akash missiles is a lot easier than producing Agni missiles.
