Watch | Modi, Merkel visit Bosch facility in Bengaluru

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday visited German automotive major Bosch's facility in Bengaluru for a firsthand view of its operations in India. Both the leaders also interacted with top executives of German firms operating in India, including Bengaluru, and exchanged views on how to help the government boost its 'Make in India' and 'Digitise India' initiatives for creating jobs and promote exports. After Bosch visit, Modi and Merkel will jointly participate in a tech event hosted by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) and the German Fraunhofer Institute on “Digitising Tomorrow”.

Merkel, 61, who is on a three-day official visit to India since Sunday, flew into Bengaluru on Monday night with a large official-cum-business delegation to participate in the twin events with Modi.
