I have two questions in this regard:

  1. Why does India need such a long and huge area?
  2. Did China ever do this?
    • If not, why does India need this?

    $\begingroup$ I agree, there is no relevance of this NOTAM to what China does or doesnt. Especially not for aviation.se. Any answer to this part of the question would be speculation. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ "Why does India need such a long and huge area?" Might want to revisit the definition of "ballistic missile" :) $\endgroup$

As for why India needs such a large and wide area, they are launching a missile, and what goes up is going to come down somewhere in that area. They have a wide area in case missile goes off course. It's good practice for a nation to warn people of potential dangers in the air from rocket testing.
