India expects an easing of Chinese rules for market access during Modi’s visit as it would benefit the world’s second-largest economy when it is facing its worst slowdown in decades.
Officials said both countries could also agree for more cooperation in railways and in resolving a decades-old border dispute.
"India could offer a train track to China to run a bullet train besides easy terms to set up industrial parks," said a senior government official, with direct knowledge of the matter.
He said there has not been much progress on the development of two industrial parks that China had announced earlier.
