Earlier this month, the Philippines accepted BAPL's proposal worth $374.9 million to supply Shore-Based Anti-Ship Missile systems for the Philippines Navy.
DRDO and BAPL together have been pushing hard for exports of this missile to friendly foreign countries for the last few months.
The BrahMos export order would be the biggest for the country in this field and is likely to propel India among arms exporting countries as more orders for the missile are expected from other friendly countries. Negotiations with some other nations are at an advanced stage.
The missile has also become more capable due to added range and other modern technologies being incorporated into it.
