However, the argument would be how many missiles can India build in 2 years versus 1400 that can be re-oriented in 2 years.

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.
