  The neutron capture cross sections have been studied near the $Z=50$ closed
shell for a number of nuclei those take part in heavy element nucleosynthesis,
the slow and the rapid neutron capture processes and the proton capture
process. An optical model potential is constructed in theoretical approach by
folding the density dependent M3y purely real nucleon-nucleon interaction with
the target radial matter density in relativistic mean field (RMF) approach. The
standard code TALYS1.8 is used for cross-section calculation. We have presented
the Maxwellian-averaged capture cross-section (MACS) values and stellar neutron
capture reaction rates at astrophysically relevant thermal energies and
temperatures.
