According to Media reports India and Russian ”BrahMos Aerospace” will start work on more Agile and lighter BrahMos missiles currently dubbed has BrahMos-M , The new missile will be ready in next two or three years and will be able to be carried by other fighter jets in current fleet of Indian air force .
BrahMos-M will use most of the technology developed for BrahMos missiles but will be different in characters , new missile will only weight 1500 kg which will bring the missile to same class in terms of weight to other ALCM ( Air Launched Cruise Missiles ) , but due to MTCR restrictions range again will be limited to 290 km .
New BrahMos-M can be used on IAF’s upgraded Mig-29 and Navies Mig-29k , there are plans to Integrate them into Mirage-2000 and Rafale in Future , India and Russia are currently working on BrahMos-A for Indian air force which could be launched from Sukhoi-30MKI. BrahMos-A will lose around 500 kg from the Land based version but it is still too heavy and Sukhoi-30 airframes have to be strengthen to carry extra weight of the missiles .
BrahMos-A will only have few Sukhoi-30MKI has a launch platform since only few aircrafts will get strengthening of the airframes ,and each Sukhoi-30 will be able to carry only one BrahMos-A which also limits its availability . But each Sukhoi-30 will be able to carry 2 BrahMos-M .
