India's flagship automobile show - the Indian Auto Expo 2016 - opened its doors in Greater Noida, on the outskirts of New Delhi, on Wednesday, with a new batch of diesel-guzzling sport utility vehicles on display despite uncertainty over a pollution crackdown targeting motorists in the capital.

Of particular interest was Tata Motors' new hatchback, Zica. India's biggest carmaker says it will rename the car as global alarm grows over an outbreak of the similar-sounding Zika virus.
