| Instituted in 2006, the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META) continue to accelerate the Mahindra Group’s association with theatre, which started in the form of support for regional theatre in Mumbai, followed by the inter-collegiate theatre festival in Delhi to support emerging theatre. |
|
| Each year the META Festival showcases ten theatre productions selected from all over the country in New Delhi. The aim is to give theatre a national platform and encourage and support talent even in the remotest areas. |
|
| The year 2010 marked the 5th Anniversary of META. A special Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Zohra Segal, the doyen of Indian theatre, for her outstanding contribution to theatre. This year also recorded the highest number of entries received for META, with a receipt of over 230 nationwide entries. |

| The final productions included plays from across India i.e. Manipur, Assam, West Bengal as well as Delhi, Maharashtra and Kerala. A high profile Jury viewed all the 10 plays and presented awards in various categories. |
