The probable visit comes as part of India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and to maintain its preeminent position in South Asia.
During their meeting in New Delhi on Sunday (9 June), Hasina extended a formal invite to Modi for the visit.
Dates for the potential visit are yet to be finalised.
Cross-border connectivity, energy and business ties remain a priority for both nations, according to sources.
