Ecofirst Services Limited, a subsidiary of Tata Consulting Engineers, has delivered the “Bharat Pavilion” at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. The Pavilion highlights India’s cultural heritage, technological innovation, and engineering skill. Located in the “Connecting Lives” zone, it reflects India’s vision of “Designing Future Society for Our Lives” through a careful blend of tradition, sustainability, and modern infrastructure.
Ecofirst Services team, engaged by the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), under Ministry of Culture, Government of India and India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) under Ministry of Commerce, successfully completed the entire project in just 90 days in highly compressed timelines and meeting multiple regulatory frameworks of the country of Japan. Ecofirst’s scope covered concept development, planning, design, curation, execution, technical operations, and creating an experience for visitors. The Pavilion stands as a testament to India’s ability to deliver complex, high-quality projects swiftly and efficiently.
The Ecofirst team designed and executed the entire project in the most sustainable manner, with meticulous planning. For this achievement, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) conferred the Platinum Plaque for Sustainable Interiors, making it the first of its kind in India and one of the very few temporary Expo structures in Japan to achieve this prestigious recognition.
Adding to the accolades, the CMD of ITPO, Shri Pradeep Singh Kharola, stated: “The Bharat Pavilion has emerged as one of the most visited pavilions of the Osaka World Expo. This moment of success has been achieved through excellent designs and curation by Ecofirst along with their strong execution capabilities, for which they were selected to execute the project. I truly appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the entire Ecofirst team in realising this important national representation at a global forum.”
Speaking on the success of the Pavilion, Dr. Sachchidanand Joshi, Member Secretary, IGNCA, remarked: “The Pavilion is a remarkable outcome of teamwork, creativity, and strong coordination. I commend Ecofirst for their innovative ideas, thoughtful selection of materials, and effective management of multiple agencies in Japan. The speed of work, attention to detail, and quality of content and exhibits are noteworthy. The Pavilion has been recognised as the best in its X-box category and is counted among the top few pavilions across all categories.”
Amit Sharma, MD & CEO of Tata Consulting Engineers, said, “Delivering the Bharat Pavilion within such tight timelines and in challenging site conditions shows not only our technical skill but also our commitment to representing India on a global stage. We are honoured to contribute to this symbol of national identity, sustainability, and forward-looking design.”
