Barak/Barak 1 - Ship borne SAMs. Active on Indian warships (stealth frigates) & Aircraft Carriers Viraat (decommissioned) and Vikramaditya.
Barak 8 - Based on Barak 1. Two variants - MRSAM & LRSAM, another LRSAM (Barak 8ER) is in development. IA has ordered 5 regiments of the MRSAM (200 missiles). LRSAM is for the IN.
Barak 8 is rumoured to have capabilities to destory incoming ballistic missiles apart from the usual stuff.
All the above and S-400 are to protect "military assets and destroy hostile aircraft/drones/cruise missies" in times of conflict.
NASAMS-II is to protect politicians ass, whoever sits in Delhi as of now. The ABM shield DRDO is developing has the same purpose. The bonus is, common Delhiites ass gets saved too. Next city on the list is Metropolis Mumbai.
