In an event of war, if India is forced to use nuke warheads on BrahMos missiles,
can we assume that
BrahMos with 150 kg warhead can go a distance of 1000 km ??
1. Large fuel capacity
2. 50% reduction in payload can double the range for ballistic missiles (can we assume the same for cruise missiles ??)

Where did you learn that for BM? What is the basis?
Surely CM operate under different set of propulsion and propagation method compard to BM, and will thus behave differently.
Why not postulate/assume Brahmos to go a distance of 2000 km? Why limit it to 1000 km?
