In a major step towards strengthening India’s semiconductor manufacturing and design ecosystem, the Government of India has launched a dedicated online portal titled “Investors Support” under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). The portal, inaugurated on May 26, 2026, aims to provide seamless support, guidance, and grievance redressal for investors exploring opportunities in India’s rapidly growing semiconductor sector.
The initiative is part of the broader Semicon India Programme, through which the government has been actively working to establish a resilient, trusted, and sustainable semiconductor ecosystem in the country. So far, the programme has approved 12 semiconductor fabrication and packaging projects along with 24 semiconductor design projects, reflecting the government’s strong push toward self-reliance in advanced electronics and chip manufacturing.
The newly launched portal is accessible through the official ISM website and has been designed as a single-window digital platform for investors. It provides comprehensive information related to government schemes, semiconductor policies, approved projects under the Semicon India Programme, regulatory guidelines, and other investment-related requirements.
Officials said the portal has been developed with the objective of boosting investor confidence and creating a transparent, investor-friendly environment for domestic as well as foreign companies interested in setting up semiconductor operations in India.
One of the key features of the platform is its integrated grievance redressal mechanism. Investors can register their concerns or operational issues directly through the portal. These grievances will then be addressed by officials of the India Semiconductor Mission in coordination with nodal officers from various ministries, departments, organisations, state governments, approved project companies, and industry trade bodies.
The digital system has been equipped with a secure, role-based access structure that enables streamlined coordination among all stakeholders. This mechanism is expected to ensure faster communication, efficient tracking of issues, and time-bound resolution of investor concerns.
Speaking at the launch event, Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Chief Executive Officer of India Semiconductor Mission, highlighted the importance of investor facilitation and proactive support in building a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem in India. He emphasised that continuous handholding of investors is essential for attracting large-scale investments and strengthening the country’s position in the global semiconductor value chain.
He also urged all participating stakeholders, including ministries, state governments, project companies, and trade associations, to actively perform their responsibilities in resolving investor issues and improving the ease of doing business in the semiconductor sector.
The launch event featured a detailed walkthrough of the portal’s framework and functionalities. Representatives from different stakeholder groups were briefed about the onboarding process, coordination mechanisms, and the roles and responsibilities of nodal officers associated with the platform.
India has been intensifying efforts to emerge as a major global semiconductor hub amid rising international demand for diversified and secure chip supply chains. Through policy incentives, production-linked schemes, infrastructure support, and strategic partnerships, the government aims to attract global semiconductor manufacturers and encourage domestic innovation in chip design and electronics manufacturing.
Industry experts believe that the launch of the “Investors Support” portal will further strengthen India’s investment ecosystem by simplifying processes and improving institutional coordination. The initiative is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing transparency, reducing operational bottlenecks, and accelerating project implementation in the semiconductor domain.
With semiconductor technology becoming increasingly critical for sectors such as telecommunications, automotive, artificial intelligence, consumer electronics, healthcare, and defence, India’s push toward developing a robust semiconductor ecosystem is being viewed as a strategic economic and technological priority.
The launch of the portal marks another significant milestone in India’s journey toward becoming a global semiconductor manufacturing and innovation destination.
