The draw, which includes both World Group I and II play-offs, will see 52 nations compete in 26 home-and-away ties around the globe on either January 31-February 1 or February 1-2.
India will feature in the World Group I Play-offs with the dates to be determined by the home nation.
According to the official Davis Cup website, the choice of ground for the tie between India and Togo will be decided by lot at a later stage.
Under competition format, if the nations competing against each other have never previously met or last time met before 1970 or if they last faced each other at a neutral venue, then the choice of ground is decided by lot.
India had lost to Sweden 0-4 in this year’s World Group I tie in Stockholm in September.
