"Indigenous" S-400 will be under what is known as "Project Kusha".

From what I heard, a major advantage will be the standardisation of the kill vehicle components (seeker, warhead, fuses, other components) i.e differences will be only propulsive scaling for IAD tiers....for say 3 missiles similar to family format like ASTER etc.

This will be major advantage (production wise anyway)... to current S-400 missiles in Indian IAD being (underlying) different to each other: 9M96, 48N6 and 40N6

^^ Is this what you have come across @Gessler ? et al.

==========================================

40,000 crore INR ~ 4.7 billion USD


There is concurrent development to essentially bring about an "S-500 equivalent" in project kusha

Original (Hindi only) source interview with. DRDO chairman Dr. Kamat, proj. kusha mentioned around 7.30 mark:
