The NDA government faces its sternest test of its increasingly protectionist trade policy from the visit of US President Donald Trump. India has to buy at least some more things from the USA and if those fall short it is likely that finally it will be even more quantities of gas and oil. Unless the deal seems pleasant enough to the US President he could even call off the visit.

This is the reason the India government is going the extra distance to please him with ceremonial pomp should the substance be lighter than what he would expect.
