The development comes soon after the US was unable to accept India's invitation for President Joe Biden to be the chief guest for Republic Day.

Macron will visit India as the chief guest for the 75th Republic Day at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the external affairs ministry said in a statement. "As strategic partners, India and France share a high degree of convergence on a range of regional and global issues. This year, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the India-France Strategic Partnership," the statement said.

Modi was the guest of honour at the Bastille Day or French National Day parade held in Paris on July 14. An Indian trial so participants contingent pated in the parade. Macron last visited India for the G20 Summit in September.
