The government provides figures on spending for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign trips since 2021, disclosed in Parliament through a reply by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), as reported by multiple outlets. Total expenditure since 2021 is reported at about Rs 557 crore. Annual costs listed in the MEA reply show that spending is highest in the most recent years: over Rs 180 crore in 2025, Rs 109 crore in 2024, Rs 93 crore in 2023, Rs 55 crore in 2022, and Rs 36 crore in 2021. For 2026, the government reports that Rs 74.5 crore has been spent so far for six official tours covering 13 countries. The figures relate to government expenditure on the Prime Minister’s foreign visits, as stated in the parliamentary response. Both outlets present the same overall context: rising annual spending from 2021 onward, and a specific 2026 subtotal tied to the number of tours and countries covered.
