Edited out the 'Stealth' quote. Its a very subjective term that really doesn't explain what its RCS is in relation to other cruise missiles, and it therefore best avoided.

Nirbhay (Sanskrit: निर्भय, Nirbhy "Dauntless/Fearless") is a long range, subsonic Stealth cruise missile[2] being developed in India. The missile will have a range of 1,000 km and will arm three services, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force.[3] The Nirbhay will be able to be launched from multiple platforms on land, sea and air. The missile is being developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory, a division of DRDO and after finalizing the design, the technology required for the missile is being developed. The first test flight of the missile is expected in the year 2010.[4] Nirbhay will be a terrain hugging, stealth missile[5] capable of delivering 24 different types of warheads depending on mission requirements and will use an inertial navigation system for guidance.[6] Nirbhay will supplement Brahmos in the sense that it would enable delivery of warheads farther than the 300 km range of Brahmos.
