The government of India launched the National Single Window System (NSWS), a unified platform, offering a one-stop solution for all necessary approvals, licenses, registrations, and clearances designed to streamline the approval processes required by investors.

In collaboration with TCS, Invest India has developed an NSWS portal tailored for the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). This dedicated portal will be independent from SUGAM and cdscomdonline, and is live from January 1, 2024.

Initially, the NSWS portal will handle three key activities under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017:

1. Applying for Certificate of Registration of a Notified Body (Form MD-OI).

2. Applying for a license to manufacture medical devices for various purposes (Form MD-12).

3. Applying for a License to Import Medical Devices for Clinical Investigations, Tests, or Demonstrations (Form MD-16).

You can access the NSWS portal via (https://www.nsws.gov.in). The existing cdscomdonline portal for these activities will be disabled from January 15, 2024.

The notification has been attached with a user guide that you can access from here.
