Mr Dutton heads to Delhi on Wednesday, where he will meet with political representatives, business leaders, and visit organisations supporting education programs.
He will also address an event at the India Australia Strategic Alliance, a peak business body.
"Australia's relationship with India is one based on mutual understanding, trust, and a shared vision of a stable, open, and prosperous Indo-Pacific," Mr Dutton said in a statement.
"India and Australia's bond growing ever stronger is testimony to our expanding economic, security and social ties."
The former coalition government signed a comprehensive strategic partnership in June 2020, and in April 2022 an economic co-operation and trade agreement was inked.Â
India is the world's fifth largest and fastest growing major economy.
