The Indian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai has recorded over 128,000 visitors in the first 25 days of the six-month-long event, Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal said.
"The massive footfalls are a testimony to the growing global interest in the New India story," Goyal tweeted recently.
Following Goyal's tweets, the Consulate General of India in Dubai said, "India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai has achieved 100k visitors' milestone in three weeks of its inauguration since October 1, 2021, one of the most visited pavilions at the Expo."

Improving weather conditions in the country, long weekends, and events organised during this time are considered the main reasons for the spike in attendance rates, said Mohamed Eisa Al Ansaari, vice president of strategic communications.
The Indian pavilion is set to host Diwali celebrations starting November 4. Artists from various parts of India and expatriate musical groups are set to perform as part of the festival of lights festivities, the pavilion organisers said earlier this week.
