Net Asset Value(s)

India Capital Growth Fund Limited 10 April 2006 India Capital Growth Fund March, 2006 NAV Statement India Capital Growth Fund Limited (the 'Company') 10 April 2006 Net Asset Values The Company announces its unaudited net asset values per share as at 31 March 2006: Net asset value per share - undiluted 99.20p Net asset value per share - fully diluted 99.33p Progress Update As at 31st March the Company had invested approximately 44.5 per cent. of net assets as compared to 16.5 per cent. on 31 January 2006 and 25 per cent on 28 February 2006. Including significant commitments to two further investments that we expect to complete in April, in a hotel/restaurant company (which would represent 3.9 per cent. of the Fund's net assets) and a construction company (2.3 per cent), over 50% of assets have been invested. We are well placed in the local deal flow and we believe that this trend of investing more of the Company's net assets will continue, although this is dependent on our continued focus, as laid out in the Admission Document, of examining each opportunity on a case by case basis. We are still building out positions in selected companies and hence are not yet in a position to disclose names. Among these are two companies in the auto component sector (representing 4.0 per cent. of the Fund's net assets), a sugar company (4.3 per cent.), a shipping company (3.4 per cent), a construction company involved in BOT projects (2.8 per cent.), a low cost airline (1.4 per cent.), a cement company (1.4 per cent.), a steel company (0.9 per cent.), a housing construction company (0.8 per cent.), a mid sized software company (0.7 per cent.), and a specialty fabrics company (0.5 per cent.). Liquidity is an issue in these companies and it takes time to build up to our target level of stakes without moving share prices against us, but we are showing that with patience this can be achieved. We have added to our positions in three public sector banks (11.7 per cent.), which have, we believe unreasonably, been ignored in the current stock market rally. We also have investments in three larger cap companies (12.6 per cent.) that we believe are presently undervalued. We believe the current portfolio represents an attractive balance of investments across a range of industries and with long term potential.
