PM Modi will leave the national capital around 9:30 am and land at Bhavnagar, from where he will take an aerial survey of Una, Diu, Jafarabad, and Mahuva, media reports said.
He will also hold a review meeting at Ahmedabad.
Weakening its speed, the cyclone has been downgraded from "extremely severe" to "very severe".
However, it still has the potential to cause heavy rains, with wind speeds reaching 125 kilometres per hour, the weather department has said.
