As was previously speculated and discussed on the forum, the French have opted for French/EU OEM(s) for their MLRS requirement.

Yep, they were never going to pick Pinaka anyways. It also didn't offer them what they wanted from the new system.
The Indian government is in talks with the UAE to sell some of its flagship defence systems, including the supersonic cruise missile BrahMos, four Indian sources said, as the Gulf nation steps up arms procurement following the war in the Middle East.
The discussions, which have not been previously reported, include the potential sale of India's air defence system Akashteer, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
"UAE has shown interest for a number of our weapon systems including BrahMos and Akashteer. The talks between India and UAE are at initial stages and are progressing fast," said a third source with direct knowledge of the matter.
The UAE is considering buying defence equipment from India and other sources after the Gulf nation was heavily attacked by Iran during the war and as it enhances its ability to respond to emerging threats. It also needs to protect the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial conduit for its energy exports.
Before clinching any BrahMos sale to the UAE, India would require Russia's approval, as the 290-km (180-mile) range missile is jointly developed. One source said this is unlikely to pose a hurdle given Moscow's close ties with Abu Dhabi.
Siemon Wezeman, a senior researcher with SIPRI's arms transfers programme, said both the BrahMos missile and Akashteer system would potentially serve the UAE's needs, even if international competition to sell Gulf states arms was increasing and the UAE had experience with other suppliers.

TIGHTER TIES BETWEEN INDIA, UAE
The UAE already has the U.S. MGM-168 ATACMS ballistic missile, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, which has a maximum range of 300 km. For air defence, it has the sophisticated U.S. THAAD and Patriot systems.
Akashteer would help knit together information from other devices to combat an air threat, defence experts said.

INDIA'S DEFENCE EXPORTS SURGING
Last year's four-day war between India and Pakistan, when India used weapons systems including BrahMos for the first time in battle, sparked buyer interest from other countries, two of the Indian sources said.
Since then, India has signed deals to sell the BrahMos to Vietnam and Indonesia. It has also received interest from Thailand, South Africa, Brazil and Chile, the two sources said. The embassies of those countries in New Delhi did not respond to emails seeking comment.

This seems export version of the Adamya Class. Or is one of the vessels from ICG inventory being handed over ?

Which version ? I am guessing it's Astra Mk1a (160km).
But even Astra Mk2 will be available from next year and stable serial production may take additional 2-3 years.
We may even offer our super-sukhoi upgrade to them.

Indonesia becomes first buyer of Indias Astra Missile - The Tribune
Indonesia has expressed a desire to go beyond the lone BrahMos missile-battery it had wanted in March this year.
The South East Asian nation seeks 150 of the Astra-Mark 1A Beyond-Visual-Range Air-to-Air Missile (BVRAAM). The missiles are already mated onto the Russian-origin Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter jets of the Indian Air Force.
The Indonesian Air Force also has small fleet of Sukhoi jets and the missiles can be fitted onto these jets on existing under-the-wing-weapon bays. India has the existing technical framework to support Indonesia with the aircraft-missile software and hardware integration.
