I will have dig into my archive ( unfortunately I am short on time for that), IIRC the hypersonic injection altitude should be ~ 20 km and cruise at ~35 km.
Military ram/scram jet will use the same kerosene fuel. Exotic gas fuel is not very appealing for mil use; though ISRO will very likely use LH2.

Arun_S, I'd be grateful for any figures you could prrovide. BTW, do you think that DRDO alone has the where-with-all's to design/modify a scramjet? Given the fact that even for the present BrahMos the liquid fuelled ramjet is Russian, how do you propose that DRDO provide the hypersonic BrahMos with ranges far in excess of the MTCR limit?
