Alright, a colleague of mine in Delhi was helping a family member explore surrogacy options recently, so I’ve got some fresh insights on this. As of 2025, the cost of surrogacy in Delhi for altruistic surrogacy (under the Surrogacy Regulation Act, 2021) typically ranges from ₹15 lakh to ₹25 lakh, depending on the clinic, medical needs, and extras. Since it’s altruistic, you don’t pay the surrogate (must be a close relative, aged 25-35, married, with a kid), but you cover her medical expenses, 36-month insurance, and IVF costs. Here’s the breakdown based on what we found:

• Initial Consultations & Legal Paperwork: ₹1-2 lakh (health checks for surrogate, lawyer fees for agreements, eligibility certificate).
• IVF Process: ₹4-7 lakh (hormone meds for egg production, egg retrieval, sperm collection, embryo creation, and transfer).
• Surrogate Care: ₹6-9 lakh (prenatal care, ultrasounds, delivery, nutrition, and mandatory insurance).
• Miscellaneous Costs: ₹1-3 lakh (travel, extra tests, or donor eggs/sperm if needed—donor eggs add ₹1-2 lakh).

Top clinics like Apollo Cradle, Select IVF, or Vinsfertility in Delhi quote ₹15-20 lakh for standard packages, while premium centers like Birla Fertility or Fortis might hit ₹20-25 lakh if advanced procedures (e.g., PGS testing) are involved. Delhi’s costs are slightly lower than Mumbai but higher than smaller cities like Ranchi (₹10-15 lakh).
