NEW DELHI - With less than two hours before the close of the 2008 Indian Auto Expo, crowds were still thronging into exhibition hall 11 to catch a first glimpse of the Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car. They filed past the latest sports coupe prototypes and the attractive showgirls, jockeying for position to snap pictures with cell phone cameras of the jellybean-shaped vehicle as it spun on a dais to the blare of American rock music. "This is a good day for India," said Rajesh Bindal, a paint salesman. "Now everyone can afford to travel safely in comfort, to be modern. . . . Tata is doing a lot to put our economy on the global path."
