🇮🇳 India
5 publications are based in India, and 83 in total confirm in their own guidelines that they are open to writers from here. A further 49 do not state an eligibility rule either way.
A listing is an invitation to pitch, never a promise of acceptance or payment. Every entry links to the publication’s own guideline and the date BRYME last checked it.

India's paying capacity sits in its digital newsrooms rather than its literary magazines. Most India-based literary journals state no compensation at all, and several charge a reading fee — so a list of Indian magazines is not the same thing as a list of paying markets. The newsrooms below pay per piece and publish no rate card, which is why most records here carry no figure. Every one of them was read at source.
