German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged $10.51 billion to help India achieve its climate goals after meeting its Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin on Monday.
In a statement to media, Scholz highlighted the countries' common aims, such as fighting climate change, and the importance of cooperation between democracies.
Modi, who has not held a single press conference in India since becoming prime minister in 2014, did not take questions after reading out from prepared statements. His visit to Europe will also take him to Denmark and France.
India is one of the guest countries Germany will invite to attend the G7 summit it is hosting in June, a German government spokesman said earlier on Monday.
