Dell announced the commencement of production at its new manufacturing
facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai. The ceremony was marked by the handing
over of the first 'Made in India' desktop computer system to Infosys, one of
Dell's largest customers in the country.

Rajan Anandan, VP and GM - Dell India, formally presented the first desktop
to Group Captain Deepak Sinha, VP-CCD and R N Koushik, AVP-CCD of Infosys, in
the presence of Kip Thompson, VP - Worldwide Facilities, and KY Yong, GM,
Manufacturing Operations, Dell.

Speaking at the event, Anandan, said, "It is a truly significant day for
Dell and we are thrilled that our first 'Made in India' computer is being
received by Infosys. The success of our business has always been about being
close to and understanding and meeting the needs of customers better than
anyone. Current and future customers in India are the real beneficiaries of this
manufacturing plant as we help simplify information technology for them."

"The Chennai operation reaffirms the strategic importance of India to
Dell, providing significant impetus to our growth plans and prospects here,
where we are already among the fastest growing computer systems suppliers,"
he added.

"We are very appreciative of the forward looking and pro-business
approach of the government, both in the state administration and in the Union IT
ministry. Reaching this milestone in just eight months is both a credit to the
people of Dell and to the state and local officials of the Government of Tamil
Nadu, and the Union IT Ministry," Kip Thompson said.

After formally selecting the Chennai site in September 2006, Dell commenced
work on the project three months later. Sriperumbudur is the company's third
manufacturing location in its Asia-Pacific and Japan region, joining Penang,
Malaysia, and Xiamen in China, and is part of Dell's global network of
manufacturing facilities. Earlier this year, Dell commenced manufacturing at a
new facility in Brazil, and another will open in Poland later this year.

Located on a 50-acre site with a planned five-year investment of about $30
million, Dell expects initial capacity for the Chennai operation of 4,00,000
desktop computers per annum.
