India is enhancing its support for global semiconductor companies by developing a dedicated industry portal to address operational challenges faced by these firms. The initiative, part of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) 2.0, aims to streamline interactions with India’s policy and regulatory landscape.
The portal, announced by Amitesh Sinha, additional secretary at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and CEO of ISM, will serve as a single-window interface. It will assist companies in navigating customs clearances, state-level approvals, policy interpretation, and other procedural hurdles that foreign suppliers often encounter.
Trade associations from partner countries will also be invited to join the platform, enabling member companies to voice concerns through the system. This move underscores India’s commitment to becoming a reliable partner in global supply chains, with a focus on protecting intellectual property rights and data confidentiality.
The portal initiative is a significant step in the evolution of India’s semiconductor program as it prepares for ISM 2.0. The second phase, announced in the Union Budget 2026-27, is set to deepen the semiconductor ecosystem and strengthen India’s position in the global semiconductor industry.
