A credible semiconductor ecosystem is pivotal for India's economic security as much as for national security. Analyse the strategic objectives, incentives, and institutional architecture of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). Identify the major risks that could derail its timelines.

India Semiconductor Mission ISM aims to boost the semiconductor sector in India to make India one of the leading players in the sector. Strategic objectives: (1) Let the capability to make/manufacture indigenous chips. (2) Increase the research and development capability. Incentives: (3) Private sector getting design linked incentive DLI for efficient design of embedded circuits. (4) UoI's funding to 50% of the project cost of strong manufacturing sector in India. Institutional architecture: (5) Promoting the opening of wafer production factory. (6) Is National semiconductor council to overlook upon the executing of the project.

Major risks that could derail its timelines: (1) Global supply chain disruption like imports of chips, wafers, technology etc. (2) India's dominance in the sector - as can stop companies to invest in India. (3) Lack of willingness in companies due to red tapism, bureaucratic hurdles, semiconductor is important for the Industrial Revolution 4.0. India must act promptly and attain Self Reliance as soon as possible.
