Upon acceptance, the authors are required to remit a fee of INR 2500 for the publication of their paper.

What is an APC and what authors are paying for?

Costs are incurred at every stage of the publication process from copy-editing to the digital hosting of the final article on the server. Therefore, authors are requested to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). This fee supports the publication of the article as open access under a Creative Commons license, thereby ensuring broad accessibility and compliance with open access standards.
