                                ('The Company')

                                 7 OCTOBER 2005



                    NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING





Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 'Introduction'

The Board of JPMorgan Fleming Indian today gave notice to shareholders,
convening an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held at 10 a.m.
on 1 November 2005 at The Armourers' Hall, 81 Coleman Street, London EC2R 5BJ.



The Board intends to seek shareholder approval to change the name of the Company
to JPMorgan Indian Investment Trust plc.  The Board also intends to seek
shareholder authority (the 'Authority') to issue up to 9,654,036 new shares,
with an aggregate nominal value of £2,413,509 (representing approximately 10 per
cent. of the total ordinary share capital in issue as at 6 October 2005).



Change of Company Name

As a consequence of the change of our manager's name from J.P. Morgan Fleming
Asset Management (UK) Limited to JPMorgan Asset Management (UK) Limited on 3 May
2005, the Board propose that the Company's name be changed to JPMorgan Indian
Investment Trust plc.  The Board continues to be persuaded of the marketing
benefits of including the JPMorgan brand in the Company's name.









Reasons for seeking the Authority

Since the Company's launch in 1994, the Company's Shares have typically traded
at a discount to their Net Asset Value. Over the past two years, this discount
has narrowed considerably and, since April 2004, the Shares have moved to trade
regularly at a premium to their Net Asset Value. This has enabled the Directors
to use the authority to issue new Shares for cash, conferred on them by
Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held in March this year. This
authority gave the Directors power to allot up to 9,021,136 Shares, other than
by a pro rata issue to existing Shareholders, for cash.

The issue of new Shares to date has raised approximately £21 million for the
Company and the existing authority has now been substantially utilised. The
Directors are of the opinion that continued regular demand for the Company's
Shares, barring any unforeseen downturn in sentiment toward the Indian market,
would continue to exert an upward pressure on the premium at which the Shares
trade. The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of Shareholders
as a whole that the price of the Shares reflects, as closely as possible, the
value of the underlying investments in India.



Advantages of the Authority

The effects of the Authority described below are based on the issue of New
Shares at a premium to the Net Asset Value of the existing Shares prevailing on
the relevant Calculation Date. The advantages of the Authority for existing
Shareholders are expected to be as follows:



•        an increase in the number of Shares in issue, which should broaden the
Shareholder base and improve the liquidity of the Shares;

•        an increase in the size of the Company which will result in the
Company's costs being spread over a greater number of Shares. As a result, the
Company's total expense ratio may be reduced; and

•        a modest increase in the NAV per Share attributable to the enlarged
issued share capital immediately following the issue. New Shares will only be
issued at a premium which, after payment of the costs of the issue and the costs
of investing the proceeds of the issue, should produce such an increase.



Resolutions

The proposals are conditional on the resolutions set out in the notice of the
Extraordinary General Meeting being approved by shareholders. The resolutions
will, if passed:



(a)     change the Company's name to JPMorgan Indian Investment Trust plc

(a)          grant the Directors authority under Section 80 of the Companies Act
1985 to allot up to 9,654,036 new shares with an aggregate nominal value of
£2,413,509 representing approximately 10 per cent. of the total shares in issue
as at 6 October 2005. This authority will expire on 1 November 2010;

(b)          authorise the Directors to allot securities other than in
accordance with the pre-emption provisions of section 89 of the Companies Act
1985.
