Interim Dividend in respect of the year ended 31 March 2020

The Board of Aberdeen New India Investment Trust PLC (the "Company") announces that it is declaring an interim dividend in respect of the year ended 31 March 2020 of 1.0 pence per share on the Company's Ordinary shares.

This interim dividend, which will be paid on 30 October 2020 to shareholders on the register on 2 October 2020 (ex-dividend date 1 October 2020), has been declared, on an exceptional basis, to enable the Company to maintain its investment trust status in accordance with HMRC requirements. The minimum required net revenue distribution of approximately 0.22 pence per Ordinary share has been supplemented by capital reserves in accordance with the Company's revised Articles of Association, which were approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 23 September 2020, to ensure a more meaningful amount for those shareholders receiving cheques.

This one-off exceptional payment and use of capital reserves is not expected to set any precedent for the future.
