It was not immediately known why the visit has been postponed.
The sources said Singh will “soon” undertake the visit to Ladakh to take stock of India’s military preparedness in the region where Indian and Chinese troops are locked in a seven-week bitter border standoff.
The defence minister was to be accompanied by Chief of Army Staff Gen MM Naravane.
The Army Chief visited Ladakh on June 23 and 24 during which he held a series of meetings with senior Army officials and visited various forward areas in eastern Ladakh.
