DRDO also doesn't seem to have a project for this........at least none that we know of.
I guess what DRDO can do is modify the Astra Mk1 to an anti-radiation missile.
Given that LCH can carry a quad rack of Dhruvastra ATGM which weigh 43kg each, a configuration which easily weighs 180kg if not more, it should easily be able to carry a missile which weighs approx 154kg.

It won't.
It may na sirji
As nag mk2 is being made and helina and dhruvastra is based on mk1
Same problems could be faced by air launched means too
So both missiles need to be made on basis of mk2 again or some changes which will invite trails and time
So won't it be better to import and integrate as a stop-gap

Have we advanced in rocket motors to new levels?
Our Pinaka reaches 75km advertised with a length of 5.175m while gmlrs is 4m long while achieving the same range and now the er gmlrs range is supposed to be 130km+ in same 4m length config. 214mm pinaka vs 224mm gmlrs.
And now the new prsm missile will be a rocket with 400mm dia, 4m length with around 500km range advertised. Even in atgms we are lacking behind in range figures compared to new Bois like spike lr2 and mmp.
Only missile I see which is better than almost anything other in similiar class is Agni-P.
I guess we are almost there but a little bit remains to be headed further.
