ADE is moving the Nirbhay launcher to an 8x8. It can be a Tata or an Ashok Leyland 8x8. But L&T is the system integrator. Expect something like this.

I make a guess. Astra Mk2 will be operationalized by end of 2022. The propulsion is mastered. The seeker is mastered. I don't see how it will take more than 2 years. Also, I expect SFDR to be operational by 2025.
