Net Asset Value(s)

India Capital Growth Fund Limited 04 April 2008 India Capital Growth Fund Limited (the 'Company' or 'ICGF') 4 April 2008 31 March 2008 NAV Statement Net Asset Values The Company announces its net asset values per share as at 31 March 2008: Net asset value per share - undiluted 85.75 p Net asset value per share - fully diluted 85.75 p Progress Update Undiluted NAV fell by 29.3% in the month, giving a cumulative fall since 31 December 2007 of 47.7%. While the small and mid cap indices fell somewhat further than the BSE Sensex, the fall in NAV was even greater than these indices, reflecting very sharp falls in the market price of a number of the larger holdings in the Company's portfolio. The market has been influenced by continued withdrawal of liquidity from the market by foreign and domestic investors (foreign institutional investors have so far withdrawn a total of USD 2.8 billion in 2008); and as large institutions withdrew from the market, high net worth individuals and retail investors faced margin calls that forced the unwinding of positions. The problems were exacerbated for small- and mid-sized companies where there is inherently less liquidity even in normal markets. In these markets, unfounded rumours in connection with particular stocks can have a rapid effect on prices. During the month the large cap BSE Sensex was down by 11.0%, while BSE mid and small cap indices fell 16.3% and 18.6% respectively. The Indian Rupee also fell by 0.3% against Sterling. Throughout the turbulence of the last three months close contact has been maintained with the respective management of each investee company. With few exceptions the underlying performance of these companies continues to be strong and their financial position sound. We anticipate good results for the quarter ending March 2008 which are expected to be announced during April, continuing the trends for the first nine months (to 31 December 2007) of the current financial year, which showed healthy EPS growth rates over the corresponding period in the previous year. Further detailed comments on a number of the principal holdings by the Company, based on public information, are contained in the March 2008 Presentation that can be found on the Company's website at www.indiacapitalgrowth.com . This presentation will be updated from time to time on the website. ICGF was established as a closed ended fund with the aim of providing exposure principally to the mid and small cap sectors of the Indian economy by way of long term investment. India Investment Partners Limited, the Company's investment manager (the 'Manager'), considers that the recent downturn in share prices reflects short term international capital market movements which the Manager believes have little to do with the underlying longer term positive and strong earning power of the companies in which ICGF is invested. In 2007 India's GDP grew by 9.6% while the US, UK, Japan and the Eurozone all grew by less than 3%. The Managers' view remains that the Indian economy, though not immune to international economic conditions, is continuing on a secular growth path and, over time, will rise faster that of most developed economies. A cautious approach continues to be adopted, and at 31 March 2008 the Company had a net cash of £7.7 million.
