I went to the expo today, havnt got much pics other than what KP has already posted. I have got a few videos though.. please let me know where i can upload them..

A word of CAUTION: those using the yellow forms are not being allowed UNLESS they show their visiting card also. So students beware. Online form is much better bet.

dont know the hall number, but Tata is alonside Skoda and German manufacturers (Audi).

Yellow/green passes not being allowed unless you have visiting cards. (but my friends somehow managed giving 50 bucks each to the guard, but they were let in but had some irritation with guards of each hall asking for passes.. anyway they managed.. luckly we could visit each hall... i was the only one with online form, and No business visitor card needed for that

As i said, officialy they dont allow, but un-officially they took 50 bucks and let us (my friends) in. Even then, friends had to face harrasement because at each hall those damn guards ask for pass.. anyways, you can sneak through in groups..a bit tricky though (in the halls)

i would not recomend sneaking into hall in a group as *IF* you are caught you can pretty much say goodbye to your *****
