Speaking before his visit, Mr Gates said the improved relationship between India and US had been one of the most significant changes since he was last in government 15 years ago.
"I want to see what we can do to not only strengthen that [relationship] but perhaps expand it in other ways," he said.
India earlier this month agreed a $1bn deal to buy military transport aircraft from US firm Lockheed Martin.
However, a key deal that would see the US supply India with nuclear technology for civilian uses has yet to be approved by India.
The deal, which would end a three-decade US ban on nuclear exports to India, is opposed by the Indian government's communist allies.
