U.S. Eyes Defence Deals Worth $3-5 Bn With India

To boost the manufacturing sector in the country, Indian government has recently launched the 'Make in India' campaign.

Modi has a power-packed schedule of business meetings during his visit and during his interactions with top American corporate executives, he would be rolling out his policy of "red carpet and not red tape" to invite them to come, invest and make in India.

Among others, the 'My Govt Digital Platform' initiative was launched in July with an aim to help citizens contribute in governance by giving their views on important issues.

The Prime Minister is set to hold discussions with more than 15 top American corporate honchos, including top executives of Google, Boeing and General Electric, here tomorrow.

Besides, Modi would be participating in a business meet, to be organised by the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC), expected to be attended by 300-400 businessmen in Washington on September 30.

The visit is expected to further boost Indo-US trade ties. The value of trade between the two countries stood at nearly USD 64 billion in 2013.
