IVF cycle, Hyderabad ₹160,000 to ₹280,000

The clinic says “the cost usually includes everything, from stimulation to embryo transfer and post-transfer follow-up”, depending on individual needs; PGD or ICSI add to the cost. From a clinic article, not a price list.

Apollo Fertility · read 2 November 2026

Cheapest first. Prices are converted at the European Central Bank rates of 23 October 2026 and rounded, before flights and a hotel. “Book” opens the provider's own page for foreign patients; we take no fee and pass on nothing.

Both Indian prices are clinics' own starting prices for patients in India. Indira IVF's ₹1,00,000 Basic IVF excludes blood tests, pharmacy medicines, freezing and donor charges, and its Advanced IVF/ICSI starts at ₹1,80,000 with blastocyst culture, freezing of 2 embryos and 1 transfer (Indira IVF). Apollo Fertility gives ₹1,60,000 to ₹2,80,000 per cycle in Hyderabad in a clinic article (Apollo Fertility). Neither page says whether patients from abroad pay the same, so ask for a written quote in your own currency and check what the medicines will cost.

How it works for a visitor

  1. Ask for a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for the IVF cycle and ask for an itemised price, the date, and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goCheck what your home health service funds first. NICE in England recommends up to three cycles under 40, but local health boards decide, and the HSE in Ireland funds one round for eligible couples.
  3. Before you goAsk the clinic for a written plan with dates, medicines and every fee, and agree how embryos are stored if you do not use them all.
  4. LanguageHindi and many regional languages; English is used in private hospitals.
  5. Entry rulesCheck the official advice for your passport before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements), Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca), US citizens (State Department, choose the country), Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
  6. After you returnTell your GP if you are pregnant after treatment abroad, with the clinic’s report on the transfer.
  7. After you returnSevere tummy pain, swelling or breathlessness after egg collection can be a reaction to the hormones and needs urgent care.

Can your public system pay for it?

NHS and HSE schemes do not reach India. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in India is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.

When not to travel for an IVF cycle

  • Anyone the destination’s law excludes. Thailand, for example, limits IVF to legally married couples, according to a Bangkok clinic.
  • People who have not had fertility tests at home: a clinic abroad will usually ask for them first.

How to compare IVF cycle quotes

In IVF, hormone injections stimulate the ovaries, the eggs are collected in a short procedure, fertilised in the laboratory, and an embryo is transferred to the womb a few days later. ICSI injects a single sperm into each egg. Clinic prices often leave out the medicines, which can cost as much as the cycle, and extras such as freezing embryos. Rules on who may have IVF differ by country.

  • Check whether the medicines are in the price. Many clinics quote them separately because doses differ.
  • Ask whether ICSI, embryo freezing, storage and a frozen transfer are included or extra.
  • Ask how many monitoring scans you need at the clinic, and whether some can be done at home.
  • Ask for the clinic’s own success figures for your age group, and how they are counted.

IVF in India: questions

How much does an IVF cycle cost in India?

The published prices we found range from ₹100,000 to ₹280,000, about £788 to £2,210 or $1,050 to $2,950. They come from Indira IVF and Apollo Fertility. Each covers something slightly different, so read what is included before comparing.

Is an IVF cycle in India cheaper than paying privately in the UK?

Before travel, the prices here work out at about £788 to £2,210, against about £3,800 to £5,240 at the UK providers we checked. Travel adds a flight and a hotel on top; the calculator on the home page adds a rough estimate.

Will the NHS or HSE pay for an IVF cycle in India?

No. The NHS S2 route and the HSE schemes cover planned treatment in Europe only. India is outside them, so you pay yourself or through a private insurer that agrees in advance.

How many days should I plan in India?

About 2 to 3 weeks for a fresh cycle if you start the injections at the clinic; less if the clinic lets you start them at home and come for the last scans, egg collection and transfer. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice: the clinic sets the schedule, and you should ask it for one in writing.

What should I check before booking an IVF cycle in India?

Check whether the medicines are in the price. Many clinics quote them separately because doses differ. Ask whether ICSI, embryo freezing, storage and a frozen transfer are included or extra.
