Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders 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. (the "Fund") for the year ended December
31, 2004, 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 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 controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an
audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements
for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with U.S.
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 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). 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, 2004.

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.
