Congrats DRDO,you are the pride of our country.
By the way,the 44 km range for mk1 is too low to be called a BVRAAM by today's standards.

The maximum range of Astra is 110 km in head-on chase and 20 km in tail chase. The missile could be launched from different altitudes - it can cover 110 km when launched from an altitude of 15 km, 44 km when fired from an altitude of eight km and 21 km when the altitude is sea-level . The missile can reportedly undertake 40 g turns close to sea level, when attacking a maneuvering target.[6] It will have an active homing range of 25 km. The missile has a pre-fragmented warhead and is fitted with a proximity fuze.[2] A radar fuse already exists for the Astra, but the DRDO is currently working on a new laser fuse. Astra has on-board ECCM capability allowing it to jam radar signals from an enemy surface-to-air battery, ensuring that the missile is not tracked or shot down. The Mark 2 version of Astra will have a maximum range of 150 km and tail chase range of up to 35 km, and will feature shorter fins than the original Mark 1 design.

Dude it's smokeless

 

[Tshering22]

Why are all our missiles white in color? Even Akash, Prithvi etc have white coating.

 

[Gessler]

Propulsion is neat & smokeless, similar to the latest versions of AMRAAM. Unlike some of the other comparable
missiles around, which are relatively "smoky" :

R-77 Adder

SD-10 aka PL-12 :
