Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of Morgan Stanley India Investment
 Fund, Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
 statements of Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund, Inc.
 for the year ended December 31, 2001, we considered its
 internal control, including control activities for
safeguarding securities, in order 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, not to provide assurance on internal control.

The management of Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund, Inc.
 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 controls. Generally, controls
 that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entitys objective
of preparing financial statements for external purposes that
 are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding
of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or
 fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, projection of any
 evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to
 the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in
 conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation 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 internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements caused by error 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 and its operation, including
controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 2001.

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