Missiles are specified in terms of all up weight, so I would like to believe it is indeed smaller missile.
Also note that its dia is small enough to be launched from various types of torpedo tubes.

Pls compare the weight with Storm shadow, Apache, scalp, Taurus, KEPD etc and with claimed weight of 1000 kg, thus for stated range weight is low because either the warhead is only in the range of around 250kg or range is less or something is amiss. i hope this is not a overeach by DRDO by trying to match the latest stealth missiles of USA
In fact the above specifications of 520mm and 6m lenght are very close to tomhawk and strongly indicates that the weight is being stated for the core missile without booster. the booster will probably fashioned differently for different uses.
