Modi is currently on a state visit to Washington, where he met the president for a state dinner and discussed several matters.

The visit has already yielded results, with U.S. chipmaker Micron Technology all set to build a billion-dollar semiconductor plant in Gujarat and the US easing visa-renewal rules for some Indian immigrants in the US.

US-based General Electric will also join forces with Indian government-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to co-produce jet engines for the South Asian nation's Air Force.
