IVF & Fertility Treatment in India
IVF, ICSI and frozen embryo transfer cycles with transparent per-cycle pricing and clear rules on what is and is not permitted in India.
Starting from USD 2,800Success rates fall sharply with maternal age; ask for age-banded figures, not clinic averages.
An IVF cycle in India costs a fraction of what it does in Western Europe or North America, and the laboratory standards at accredited centres are high. What varies most between clinics is honesty about success rates.
Always ask for live-birth rates for your own age band and your own indication, per embryo transfer — not a headline 'success rate' that mixes all ages and all cycle types together.
What a IVF & Fertility Treatment package usually includes
- Baseline hormone panel, scans and cycle planning consultation
- Ovarian stimulation monitoring, egg retrieval and anaesthesia
- ICSI, embryology laboratory work and blastocyst culture
- Fresh or frozen embryo transfer as planned
- First year of embryo storage and a written post-transfer protocol

View hospital profileIVF & Fertility Treatment in India — frequently asked questions
What is legally permitted in India?
IVF and ICSI for married couples are permitted under the ART Act. Commercial surrogacy is prohibited and rules for donor gametes are tightly regulated, so confirm eligibility for your specific situation in writing before you travel.
How long is the stay for one cycle?
Around three to four weeks for a fresh cycle. Many couples split it: stimulation monitoring at home where possible, then travel for retrieval and transfer.
Can we freeze embryos and come back?
Yes, and for many couples that is the most cost-effective path. A later frozen transfer needs only a ten to fourteen day trip.
