If you are on a single ticket, I would not fork out the $100 for the change because if you miss your connection you should be re-booked at no charge, after all the airline in case (DL) sold the ticket assuming you'd be able to make the connection.
However, if you're on two separate tickets, you may in the end have to pay more than $100 to rebook in case you miss your connection.
It will no doubt help if you can already check-in for your second flight at your initial point of departure and skip a second check-in at CDG.

Yeah - Delta sold me a single ticket, so they should be responsible for booking me on another flight. but I think That is the only direct flight from PARIS - BOMBAY. So I am little bit worried on how long I will have to stay back.. :-(..

What you can try is to be at ATL early and see if you can get a "same day confirmed" for one of the two earlier flights to CDG.... if there's a chance for a delay of your originally booked ATL-CDG flight, they might even do it without charge (cheaper for them than if you misconnect in CDG) - pretty much depends on the agent you're talking to, though...
Thanks..

I am the original poster with the 1 hr. 45 minutes layover. Just wanted to tell you how it went. Well, it didn't go off at all since I was a victim of the sudden Air France pilot strike. AF was able to switch me to a Delta flight from JFK which went straight to Cairo. So I don't know if I would have made it or not. The Delta flights went very smoothly.

I had no problem at all with my connection. The plane arrived 10 mins early, I had no luggage. It took me less than 10 minutes to get off the plane and to pass customs. Within 10 mins I was aboard the shuttle train, 10 mins later I was at the AF checkin in 2E. I had enough time to spend 20 mins in the F lounge in 2E. I actually almost found T1 to 2E easier than 2C or 2D to 2E.

This. Just follow the "Correspondances" sign and then the "Terminal 2A". Go through the security checkpoint and take the blue bus.

All this is doable if the OP has a single PNR or multiple PNRs with no checked bags or checked-through bags.
Otherwise, the landside connection by feet is mandatory...
