Tata Motors suspended work indefinitely at a factory building the world's cheapest car, the company said Tuesday, following increasingly violent protests by farmers demanding their land back.

India's new $2,500 Nano just may change the lives of millions of the world's poor. But some worry it could also complicate environmental problems
India's Tata Group is interested in acquiring Ford's Jaguar and Land Rover brands, the Indian conglomerate's chairman Ratan Tata said in remarks released on Friday.
If the world needed a wake-up call to India's growing economic might then last week's acquisition of the Anglo-Dutch steel firm Corus by Tata Steel ought to have done the job.
