Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will invite Australia to play a key role in supplying India's immense appetite for energy as its economy rapidly develops, using a landmark speech to Parliament on Tuesday to express support for coal and natural gas, but also renewable energy.

In an address to be made in English, the Indian leader will make the remarks as he calls for stronger economic ties between the two nations and enhanced co-operation in information technology, tourism, education and agriculture.

Mr Modi - seen by many Indians, including the diaspora in Australia, as a transformative leader for the giant nation - wants to bring power to India's 300 million citizens without electricity while also building capacity to power its expanding industrial and Information technology sectors.

He is supporting a new mega-mine in central Queensland to be operated by India's Adani Group but also sees a crucial role for wind and solar energy, along with natural gas and nuclear energy in addressing the country's energy challenge.
