NEW DELHI: India expects Saudi Arabia to ramp up investments in several sectors including technology, farm and energy over the next couple of years, a senior Indian official said, after a meeting between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"We expect that in the next 2 to 3 years there will be significant scaling up of Saudi investments in India," said Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale, providing a readout of the meeting.
