are you talking about ngccm? that’s an asraam that’s being made in india, not r-73.
r-74me is a project that died in the 90s, i sincerely doubt they want to make a dead missile when theyre literally also making asraam

Work on the modernization of the R-73 after the collapse of the USSR and the related political problems of interaction with Ukrainian partners could not be carried out actively for many years. Despite this, it was at this time that a “transitional” modified version of the rocket appeared with an improved TGS “Mayak-80M” with a range of target designation angles increased to ± 60o (for serial P-73 this parameter is ± 45o ) and increased energy. In the summer of 1997, a full-size mock-up of such a rocket, called K-74ME, was demonstrated at the exposition of the GosMKB “Vimpel” at MAKS-1997. It was reported at the exhibition that the rocket had been tested since 1994 and was ready for mass production by the time of the air show. The further development of the R-73 and K-74ME should be an upgraded rocket, referred to in the report of Gennady Sokolovsky as “product 760”. This UR being created as part of the “second stage of modernization” of the R-73 missile family, it is considered by its creators as a “weapon of equal opportunities” with foreign analogues – the British ASRAAM and the American AIM-9X.
