Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, 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, 2009.
