Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of The India Fund, Inc.


In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of The India Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2007, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting, including control activities for
safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the requirements of
Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting.  In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls.  A company's internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Such internal control over financial
reporting includes policies and procedures that provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a
control does not allow management or employees, in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or
detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to
initiate, authorize, record, process or report external
financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles such that there is more than a remote
likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or
interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential
will not be prevented or detected.  A material weakness is a
control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies,
that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies
in internal control over financial reporting that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States).  However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that
we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
December 31, 2007.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Directors of The India Fund, Inc.
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended
to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act in combination
require the Directors and officers of The India Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund"), persons who own more than ten percent of the Fund's
common stock, Blackstone Asia Advisors L.L.C. ("Blackstone
Advisors"), Blackstone Fund Services India Private Limited
("Blackstone India") and their directors and officers, to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Fund's
securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and
entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund
with copies of all such forms they file.

      Based solely on a review of those forms furnished to the
Fund, the Fund believes that the Fund's Directors and officers,
and Blackstone Advisors and Blackstone India and their directors
and officers, have complied with applicable filing requirements
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
