The royal couple is on a five-day visit to India.

Earlier in the day, they were accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhawan and were received by President Ram Nath Kovind and his wife Savita Kovind.

Hubertus and Sommerlth also met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

The couple, on Tuesday, is slated to take part in a programme on 'Tackling emissions and air pollution' at India Habitat Centre here.
