India has so far only test-fired BrahMos, which has a range of 280 kilometres (175 miles), from aboard warships since its development by Indian and Russian experts in 2001.

BrahMos was on display at the January 26 Republic Day military parade, and an unspecified number of countries are said to be interested in buying the cruise missile, which carries a conventional warhead.

India has developed an array of ballistic missiles in its goal to achieve military self-reliance and eventually become a major player in the global arms industry.
