MS India Investment Fund, Inc.

(a)                                 Non-income producing security.

(b)                                 At September 30, 2010, the Fund held approximately $0 of fair valued securities, representing 0.0% of net assets. These securities have been fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund’s Directors.

(c)                                  Security has been deemed illiquid at September 30, 2010.

(d)                                 The Fund invests in the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Money Market Portfolio - Institutional Class (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Investment Adviser. Investment advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by the Liquidity Fund with respect to assets invested by the Fund in the Liquidity Fund.

Fair Value Measurement Information:

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of September 30, 2010. (See Notes to the Portfolio of Investments for further information regarding fair value measurement.)

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Portfolio recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of September 30, 2010, securities with a total value of approximately $451,812,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2009, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.

Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value.

†              Includes a security which is valued at zero.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments (unaudited)

In accordance with FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”) (formerly known as SFAS 157), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

·                  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·                  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·                  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Valuation: Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price except as noted below. Unlisted securities and listed securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers. Equity securities listed on a U.S. exchange are valued at the latest quoted sales price on the valuation date. Equity securities listed or traded on NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available, are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Debt securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) determine such valuation does not reflect the securities’ market value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair value as determined by the Directors.

All other securities and investments for which market values are not readily available, including restricted securities, and those securities for which it is inappropriate to determine prices in accordance with the aforementioned procedures, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Directors, although the actual calculations may be done by others. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

Most foreign markets close before the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, developments that could affect the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business on the NYSE. If these developments are expected to materially affect the value of the securities, the valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Directors.
