IVF cost in India

Written by Zayn Miah & R KhanomLast updated 17 September 2026Not clinically reviewed

IVF in India is provided almost entirely through private clinics, with no general public funding scheme for treatment. Prices are usually quoted per cycle, and international patients are often offered package deals that bundle consultation, monitoring, the procedure and transfer, but medication, PGT, freezing and donor gametes are commonly priced as extras. Because clinics vary widely in what a package actually contains, a lower headline price in one clinic can end up costing more once everything needed is added, so a written breakdown before you commit matters more than the number on a website.

We do not publish an average price for India, because any single figure would be a guess and would go out of date. Use the questions below to get an itemised quote in writing from the clinic itself. Currency here is Indian rupee (INR).

What drives the cost

  • The dose and type of stimulation medication
  • Whether ICSI or PGT is included or added on
  • Freezing and storage of eggs or embryos
  • How many transfers the package covers
  • Whether donor eggs or sperm are used
  • Extra monitoring visits if the cycle needs closer tracking
  • Travel and accommodation for the time you need to be in the country

Usually inside the advertised price

  • Consultation and treatment planning
  • Monitoring scans and bloods during stimulation
  • Egg collection procedure
  • Embryo culture in the laboratory
  • One embryo transfer

Usually billed on top

  • Medication, which can be a large share of the true cost
  • ICSI if not already included in the package
  • PGT and genetics lab fees
  • Freezing and ongoing storage
  • Frozen embryo transfer cycles if the fresh transfer does not succeed
  • Donor eggs or sperm and their screening
  • Interpreter or coordinator fees
  • Travel, accommodation and time off work
