Modi had made a visit to the US in 2016 when he also addressed a joint session of the US Congress, something he would do during the upcoming visit as well to become the first Indian leader to achieve the feat.

According to Raghavendra, he originally wanted his car’s number plate to be embossed with ‘NARENDRA MODI’ but authorities did not permit him because of the long text. He then requested for a number plate with title ‘NMODI’ and it was allowed.

His car bears the ‘NMODI’ number plates both on the front and rear side.
