The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the US will take place on Jan. 20.
It is learnt that Sullivan will be in Delhi on Jan. 6 and will hold wide-ranging talks with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.
No official announcement has been made yet on the US NSA's visit to India.
Sullivan's trip comes days after External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar concluded a six-day visit to the US.
In their talks, Sullivan and Doval are expected to deliberate on implementation of the iCET, billed as one of the very significant initiatives rolled out during Joe Biden's presidency to expand India-US strategic ties.
The iCET was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Biden in May 2022 with an aim to forge greater collaboration between the two countries in areas of critical technologies.
Last year, the two sides unveiled a raft of transformative initiatives to deepen India-US cooperation in areas of semiconductor, critical minerals, advanced telecommunication and defence space.
During Sullivan's visit, the two sides are also expected to review the overall India-US strategic ties and outcomes achieved in deepening ties between the two countries under Biden's presidency.
The US NSA is also likely to meet External Affairs Minister Jaishankar and other senior Indian officials.
Sullivan last visited India in June last year.
