LONDON: A top Indian scientist has said his country plans to sell Brahmos supersonic cruise missiles to friendly countries and a list in this regard was being prepared.

Speaking at the International Institute for Strategic Studies on "India: An emerging strategic power" on Tuesday, Dr Sivathanu Pillai, Chief Controller, Research and Development, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said his country was in a position to sell the missile to friendly countries that have shown interest and are being identified.

However, he added, India would not take a hasty decision and carefully scrutinise the interested countries.
