Mr Modi took the oath before thousands of guests, including his counterpart from rival Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif.
It is the first time since the two countries won independence in 1947 that a prime minister from one state has attended such a ceremony in the other.
Mr Modi led his BJP party to a landslide win in the recent election.
The BJP won the biggest victory by any party in India for 30 years, gaining a majority in parliament and trouncing the outgoing Congress Party.
