ULPGM is a new class of missile for a new generation of warfare. There should be a dedicated thread for it.
ULPGM has 3 versions: ULPGM V1, V2 & V3. All three weapons are quite different from each other. Here is what we know of each version:
ULPGM V1:
Length: ~680-690 mm
Diameter: 100 mm
Wingspan: 200 mm
Weight: 5 kg
Range: 1.5-2 km
Guidance: Uncooled IIR seeker
Accuracy: 100 m
Propulsion: None (dropped from a height of 750m-2km, glides to target)
Warhead: 2 kg
Warhead types: Pre-fragmented (Anti-personnel) / Explosively formed penetrator (Anti-tank) / PCB (Bunker buster up to 6-inches of RCC)

ULPGM V2:
Length: 890 mm
Diameter: 100 mm
Wingspan: 200 mm
Weight: 8.5 kg
Range: 4 km (when released from 750 m) - 6 km (when released from 2 km)
Guidance: Uncooled IIR seeker
Accuracy: 100 m
Communication: S-band 2-way datalink
Propulsion: Dual thrust solid rocket motor with thrust vectoring, smokeless propellant.
Warhead: 2 kg
Warhead types: Pre-fragmented (Anti-personnel) / Explosively formed penetrator (Anti-tank) / PCB (Bunker buster up to 6-inches of RCC)
Some photos of the V2:
BDL has received a Rs 105 crore (~USD 12.5 million) LSP order to produce the ULPGM V2 for the Army. Total quantity of these munitions to be supplied is 220. Unit price come out around Rs 47.7 lakh (~USD 56-57 k). Adani Defence will also produce these missiles. Prices should climb down in the subsequent orders.
ULPGM V3:
Not much is known of this weapon except that it will be a 10 km ranged missile with a S-band RF seeker:
