In his media statement, Modi said Portugal's strength in football and the rapid development of the sport in India could form the nucleus of an emerging partnership in sporting disciplines.
Costa is on a seven-day visit to India, and it's reported that sports collaboration has been one of the agendas when the two leaders met today.
Regarded as one of the greatest football players ever, Ronaldo won his fourth Ballon d'Or trophy last year.
The Real Madrid super-star helped his national team to European title last July.
