Starting a family is not always easy. For many couples, this journey is paved with years of failed attempts, heartbreak and a quiet kind of grief that most people in their lives do not quite comprehend. At Ekmi Fertility, we see you. Whether you’re new to IVF and surrogacy or have been through many cycles already, we want this journey to feel less overwhelming – and so much more hopeful.
India thus continues to be the most preferred destination by intended parents looking for affordable surrogacy with no compromise on medical quality. This is a sharper look at what surrogacy will be like in India in 2026.
Why Families Choose India for Surrogacy
The surrogacy process is much cheaper in India than the US, UK or even Australia – often three to four times so – while the medical infrastructure came close to global standards. What this translates to is: you can have your quality and value too.
Ekmi Fertility associates with the finest surrogacy clinic setup in the country with experienced fertility specialists managing everything from embryo transfer to their legal documentation.
How Much Surrogacy Costs in 2026
The cost of surrogacy in India will depend on your circumstances, but here is a general overview:
- The basic surrogacy packages generally cost around Rs.15-18 lakhs
- Guaranteed surrogacy program (between multiple attempts) – Rs.22-28 lakhs
- IVF cycles, legal fees, surrogate mother compensation and medical care are typically included in all-inclusive packages
- Cost of donor egg or sperm, if needed
Ekmi Fertility is committed to complete price transparency. No hidden charges. No surprises mid-journey.
Understanding Surrogacy Laws in India
That’s where numerous families become unsure – and understandably so, as surrogacy laws in India have undergone a lot of changes over the last few years.
Key points to know:
- Only altruistic surrogacy is legal – i.e., the surrogacy mother cannot be compensated beyond medical and insurance costs
- Presently, surrogacy in India is legislatively permitted for married Indians and single women (widowed or divorced), under certain conditions.
- If you’re doing surrogacy, a close relative as surrogate is legally preferred
- They are all facilitated by a legal contract typically between at least four parties (intended parents, surrogate mother, fertility clinic) with qualified surrogacy doctors.
Our legal team at Ekmi Fertility guides each family through the process, step by step.
