It's practically the same missile, IAF/IA refer to it as MRSAM whereas Navy refers to as LRSAM.
Navy version likely has a range of 100km whereas IAF/IA MRSAM has a range of 70km.

That was in the past. Now all the services call it MRSAM. I have not found any official reference where it said that naval version has a range of 100km (except the news in media).

Every company that can build light tanks will want to have a product on offer. Just that most of them are too risk averse to invest in designing one from ground up.

Critical parts in EVs built by even Tatas and Mahindras come from China via Indirect route to hide actual origin. Such well established companies with good markest share and considerable volumes are reluctant to invest in core R&D for a product which they know will be in market for 10-15 years. Investing for 5-10 years building a complex product that will have to be L1 after it has passed Moon and Mars trials is practically Harakiri for decent sized companies when you know your competitors will simply change name-plate of foreign maaaal and claim it to be made inhouse

Only way to resolve this quandorum is initate a system, where each part in any defence product should come with certification that it is 100% made in India from Raw material onwards. Anything else should have 100% direct additional taxation on import value which should be based on Fair market price (and not bogus low value Invoice that are usually submitted). There should also be a cap of 30% for imported components breaching which disqualifies the company. Creating this breathing space may encourge Indian companies to do actual R&D
