Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told reporters Wednesday the men belonged to a cell sponsored by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
He gave few other details. Press Trust of India quoted senior Delhi police official P.N. Agarwal as saying the men were carrying explosive material.
The Indian capital has seen a spate of terror attacks in the last few years. In early February an explosion seriously wounded an Israeli diplomat and 11 people were killed when a bomb went off outside a courthouse.
