Why pralay missiles speed is only 1.6 mach max while shaurya missile has hypersonic speed, both missiles are using two stage rocket.
Weight of both missiles is 5ton and 6.2 ton not much difference
General physics. Terminal Velocity increases with increase of altitude of the falling body.
Moreover Shaurya is not as maneuvering as Pralay in terminal stage.

Thanks for the clarification.
One more question
What will be the cost of this missile? Bramhos costs 3 million per missile, while subsonic missile tomahawk cost 2 million

Did he say about Sudarshan in interview
Yes.

These are the main points of the interview-

1. L&T has an order book of 14000 crores this year. It's expected to grow by atleast 15 percent next year.

2. 10 percent of the order book is exports.

3. 1 MPV is under construction. Order for another is expected soon.

4. L&T is building 4 Shallow water ASW Corvettes for GRSE at the Kattupali yard. One was launched recently .

5. Additional orders for K-9 are expected soon. He didn't mention whether it's this fiscal or the next .

6. The order for Pinaka mk1 / mk2 / guided is under execution. Jayant Patil expects a repeat order after a couple of years.

7. Lt is expecting orders for Sudarshan CIWS early next fiscal. It's worth 6-7000 crores. The entire system from sensors to shooter to command and control was designed in house. That's why they were the L1 bidder since they didn't have to pay royalty to any foreign OEM unlike other companies .

8. Bids for the P75I are expected to be announced next fiscal .

9. They are the only company who have met the required parameters in the LR HPR tender. They expect to bag this order.
