The visiting dignitary will be accorded a ceremonial reception on Friday before he goes into talks with Modi.
Sources said a host of issues, including Bhutan’s five-year development plan, were likely to be discussed during the visit.
The MEA said the two sides were likely to discuss all aspects of bilateral relations, including high-level exchanges, people-to-people ties, and economic, development and hydropower cooperation.
Tshering’s visit comes a month after Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale’s official trip to Bhutan.
