Prime Minister's foreign trips cost the treasury 762 crore rupees over ten years

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign trips over the past decade have cost the treasury 762 crore rupees. The Ministry of External Affairs revealed this in documents submitted to the Lok Sabha, detailing expenses and accompanying delegations. Annual costs exceeded 100 crore rupees in 2024 and surpassed 175 crore rupees in 2025. While host countries cover most hospitality, India spends on security, official delegates, and logistics. This contrasts with lower spending during the Manmohan Singh government, with costs rising due to inflation, currency fluctuations, and travel specifics.
