Hyderabad: India has the capability to export missiles and it will soon start laying down policy norms, said Avinash Chander, scientific advisor to the defence minister.
He told reporters here on Saturday that many countries were sowing keen interest in the missile systems developed by India.
Avinash, who is also the director general of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said exports was a new area they were exploring and the new government was also very keen on building up the export potential.
He believes the export potential is very high. He said Akash and Prahar — medium and short range surface to surface missiles — and Brahmos could easily be exported.
He said new missiles like ship launched and cruise missiles would also have huge potential.
The top defence scientist said India had the capability to produce and deliver a system in one-and-half to two years. (IANS)
