Mr Trump is addressing a massive public rally with PM Narendra Modi at the Motera stadium, the world's largest cricket venue.
More than 100,000 people present at the venue burst into applause as the two leaders entered.
Mr Trump's visit will focus on deepening ties between the world's two largest democracies.
The event at Motera stadium is being compared to the "Howdy, Modi!" event the two men held in Houston last year, which was attended by 50,000 people.
On his way to the stadium, Mr Trump participated in a 22km (13.5 miles) roadshow, as thousands of people lined the roads. Billboards along the route were emblazoned with pictures of the men and carry slogans such as "two dynamic personalities, one momentous occasion".
He entered to the music of Elton John playing on the speakers. Mr Trump's love of his songs is well documented.
The road show also featured performers from across the country, showcasing the arts from different Indian states.
Mr Trump earlier made a quick stop at the Sabarmati Ashram, where Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, who was born in Gujarat, lived for 13 years.
Mr Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tried their hand at the charka or spinning wheel, which is used to spin cloth. Gandhi popularised the act as a form of protest against foreign-made cloth during India's independence movement.
"To my great friend Prime Minister Modi, thank you for this wonderful visit," Mr Trump wrote in the ashram visitor's book.
