Moment of Inertia is a scalar quantity. Though moment of inertia is intrinsically associated with the idea of direction as it depends upon the position and direction of the axis of rotation. It is not a vector quantity, it is called a tensor.

Physical quantities which have no specified direction and have different values in different directions are called Tensors.
