Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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.
(the "Fund") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010,
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 controls over 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 express no such opinion.

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. A company's
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
 and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) 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 deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
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 material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
 Fund's annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.

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 that might be 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 over
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material
weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2010.

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.
