What factors influence surrogacy costs in Delhi?

The surrogacy costs in Delhi depend on factors such as the clinic's reputation, the surrogate’s medical expenses, fertility treatments like IVF, legal fees, and any additional medical care required during pregnancy. The costs usually range between INR 10,00,000 and INR 15,00,000.

Yo, a friend of mine was digging into surrogacy in Delhi for his cousin, so I’ve got a real-world take on what drives the cost of surrogacy there in 2025. Under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, it’s altruistic surrogacy only (no payment to the surrogate, just medical and insurance costs), and total costs in Delhi range from ₹15 lakh to ₹25 lakh. Here’s what factors bump up or keep costs in check, based on what we found:

  • Clinic Reputation and Location: Top-tier clinics like Apollo Cradle or Fortis La Femme in posh Delhi areas charge ₹20-25 lakh due to advanced tech and experienced docs. Smaller clinics like Select IVF can go as low as ₹15-18 lakh but might have fewer frills.
  • IVF Cycles Needed: Success isn’t guaranteed (50-70% per cycle). A single cycle costs ₹4-7 lakh (meds, egg retrieval, embryo transfer). If the first transfer fails, each extra cycle adds ₹3-5 lakh. “Guaranteed” packages (e.g., Vinsfertility) include retries but start at ₹18 lakh.
  • Surrogate’s Medical Needs: The surrogate (a relative, 25-35, with a kid) gets her medical care covered—prenatal, delivery, 36-month insurance. Basic care runs ₹6-9 lakh, but complications like C-sections or NICU for the baby can add ₹2-4 lakh.
  • Donor Eggs/Sperm: If the couple’s age (like the taxi driver’s wife) means low-quality eggs/sperm, donor eggs cost ₹1-2 lakh extra, and sperm donors add ₹50,000-1 lakh. Not all packages include this.
  • Legal and Admin Costs: Paperwork, lawyer fees, and eligibility certificates cost ₹1-2 lakh. If there’s a legal hiccup (e.g., parentage disputes), it can add ₹50,000-1 lakh.
  • Extras (Travel, Tests): If the surrogate lives outside Delhi, travel for check-ups can add ₹50,000-2 lakh. Advanced tests like PGS (genetic screening) cost ₹50,000-1 lakh extra.
