Indonesia's Foreign Minister Sugiono said ahead of Modi's visit that eight agreements and several memorandums of understanding are also expected to be announced.
On Tuesday, Modi will address members of Indonesia's Parliament and attend an evening event with the Indian community in Indonesia.
Indian Ambassador to Indonesia Sandeep Chakravorty said "closer ties between two leaders of the Global South are very essential" to signal unity and support for each other's growth.
Last month, India had signed a BrahMos missile deal with Vietnam.
Modi, on his second visit to Indonesia as prime minister and his first since 2018, arrived in Jakarta on Monday on the first leg of a regional tour that will also take him to Australia and New Zealand.
