Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds 15 bilateral meetings during the BRICS summit in a three-day period, as reported by multiple Indian outlets. The talks take place alongside the main BRICS engagements, with Modi meeting different counterparts over successive days.

Both sources describe the schedule as a “diplomatic marathon” or “sprint,” emphasizing the pace of the outreach. They present the central detail consistently: the number of bilateral engagements and the three-day timeframe on the sidelines of the summit. Beyond these shared points, the reports provide limited additional specifics in the material provided, such as the countries involved, subjects discussed, or any outcomes.

Taken together, the articles frame Modi’s bilateral diplomacy as an intensive parallel track during BRICS, but they do not materially diverge in the core factual claim highlighted in the excerpts: 15 bilateral meetings conducted across three days around the summit.
