INTEL SIGNALS

Strategic priority designation

BrahMos-NG remains a development programme, not a contracted missile in service. Open reporting and DRDO news digests point to first flight testing around 2026 and possible production in the 2027-28 window if trials succeed. Budget is cleared because no official standalone BrahMos-NG contract value was found.
