ONDC To Levy Fee Of INR 1.5 From Next Month

ONDC, the Open Network for Digital Commerce, will impose a fee of INR 1.5 from the next month to facilitate its platform. This move is aimed at generating funds to ensure the sustainability of the network and its expansion across India. The platform, which aims to democratize e-commerce by offering an open and accessible network to various businesses, had previously been free to use. The introduction of a nominal fee reflects ONDC's growing operational costs and the need to maintain a level of financial stability while continuing to promote open digital commerce.
