Dell has refused an Indian government published that Dell CEO Michael Dell discussed switching procurement from China to a “Safer environment” with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

“There was no discussion concerning any change in how or from where Dell will source component parts for the computers it manufactures in Asia,” Minari Shah, a Dell spokeswoman, said in an emailed argument on Thursday.

Dell sources “equipment and parts worth $25 billion from China,” Mr Singh told members of Planning Commission on March 23, according to an email of his speech released by Press Information Bureau (PIB) that evening.

“They would like to shift to secure environment with a climate responsible to enterprise with security of legal system,” Mr Singh told the plan panel. “So I think this is an area where there are great opportunities,” he said in the speech.

The PIB website, where releases of Mr Singh’s official speeches are posted, no longer has a simulate of the remarks. The text was removed after officials from the Round Rock, a Texas-based company, reached the Indian press office, Dell’s Shah said.
