Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter India Investment Fund, Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter India Investment
Fund, Inc. (the Fund) for the year ended December 31, 2000,
we considered its internal control, including control
activities for safeguarding securities, to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on
internal control.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control.  In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of internal control. Generally, internal controls that are
relevant to an audit pertain to the Fund's objective of
preparing financial statements for external purposes that
are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Those internal controls include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control,
misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be
detected.  Also, projections of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods are subject to the risk that
internal control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the specific internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that errors or fraud in amounts that would be material
in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions.  However, we noted no matters involving internal
control, including control activities for safeguarding
securities, and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31,
2000.

This report is intended solely for the information and use
of the Board of Directors and management of Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter India Investment 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.
