Along with that now, instead of 170,000, 200,000 people will be able to visit the Islamic pilgrimage site every year.

There has been an increase of 30,000 in the quota. This issue was discussed in the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Wali Ahmad (Crown Prince) Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. Modi reached Japan to participate in the G-20 summit, with his 'invaluable strategic partner', also discussed the issue of trade, investment, energy security, and terrorism. Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale told reporters that Wali Ahad has told Prime Minister Modi has promised that the Haj quota of India will be increased from 1,70,000 per year to 200,000 rupees per year. He said, 'It is important and it has been done.'

He said that both the leaders also discussed the increase in tourism, airline services and both agreed to meet again. The biggest thing is that the Haj quota of India has doubled in comparison to Pakistan. Pakistan's Haj quota has been increased from 184,210 to 2 lakh this time. That is, this time 15,790 more Haj pilgrims from Pakistan will go to Mecca. There has been an increase of 30000 in quota for Indian Muslims.

The Foreign Secretary said that Saudi Wali Ahad invited the Prime Minister to become one of the main guests in this year's International Conference, which Modi thanked Including acceptance.

The government had last year allowed women to go to Hajj without 'Meheram' or male partner, after which about 1,300 women went on the Haj tour alone. They were also exempted from the 'lottery system'. Saudi Arabia had increased the Haj quota by five thousand last year. There was an increase of 35,000 in 2017. After the judgment of the Supreme Court in 2012, the Haj subsidy granted by the government last year was removed.
