Rs 557 crore spent on PM Modi’s foreign trips since 2021

The highest expenditure during this period was recorded in 2025, when the PM’s visits to 23 countries cost ₹187.83 crore, figures provided by minister of state for external affairs Pabitra Margherita in the Rajya Sabha showed. The minister was responding to a question from Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh and CPI MP V Sivadasan.

According to details provided by Margherita in a written response, figures for 2026 did not include expenses incurred on a France visit in June for the PM to attend an outreach session of G20 Summit and to hold bilateral talks as the “compilation of bills is still underway”.

Margherita noted in response to questions from the MPs that the total foreign direct investment (FDI) received by India between April 2021 and December 2025 was $381.8 billion.
