The visiting Prime Minister, who is leading a high level business delegation, will also visit the campus of software major Infosys and Biotech major Biocon tomorrow.

Before embarking upon his return, Badawi will witness a flying display of India's three home-grown aircraft - Dhruv, the Advanced Light Helicopter, Tejas, the Light Combat Aircraft and the Intermediate Jet Trainer.
