"This bridge is about 30 metres taller compared to the Eiffel Tower. By December, we will be running the train over the bridge," Vaishnaw told Cook.

"We recently commissioned the railway track over it and we will be running a Vande Bharat train on it by December," he added.

Cook earlier met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, and discussed how to boost local manufacturing and iPhone exports, along with even tripling investments in the country.
