The actual source of this information, which you didn't cite, is actually quite telling:

• As the American delegation comes visiting, India Inc. has high expectations. However, unlike the Clinton visit in 2000, Bush’s agenda has been kept a zealously guarded secret. "The embassy has not even responded to our requests for time with the president," said an official of the American Chamber of Commerce.
  
  However, what is certain is the US-India CEOs Forum on March 2. The exclusive club boasts the creme de la creme of Indian business—Ratan N. Tata, Dr Pratap C. Reddy, Baba N. Kalyani, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Deepak S. Parekh, Ashok Ganguly, Nandan Nilekani, Yogesh C. Deveshwar, Analjit Singh, and Mukesh Ambani. So you know who is coming for dinner with the president.

The US exports to India are also slated to increase by 20 per cent to over $6 billion. Both countries are hoping to enhance their bilateral trade to $40 billion in three years," said a FICCI source.
  
  According to Dr Ashok Desai, former chief economic adviser to the government, "India should push for a free trade agreement with the US, which would include FDI and services, as it would greatly benefit our domestic economy. India should urgently liberalise FDI across sectors and undertake steps to lower import tariffs, particularly on agricultural goods."
  
  Bush is expected to visit the Knowledge Park in Hyderabad on March 3 and address the Agriculture University. In fact, officials, experts and private entrepreneurs in India and the US are giving shape to the proposed joint Knowledge Initiative on Agriculture before Bush’s visit. It will facilitate collaboration in promoting agriculture research, education and commercial links....
