US President Barack Obama is due to arrive in India on the first leg of an Asian tour designed to boost US exports and create jobs.
He will pay his respects to the victims of the 2008 Mumbai attacks when he flies into India’s financial centre.
Mr Obama will also meet local business leaders and American executives. US officials say they expect major contracts to be announced.
Mr Obama’s 10-day tour also takes in Indonesia, South Korea and Japan.
It comes in the wake of the Democrats’ heavy losses in the US mid-term elections, widely seen in part as punishment by for the Obama administration’s inability to drive down a stubbornly high unemployment rate.
