Thousands of NRI couples fly to India every year – not for a holiday but to start a family. And for couples who have run out of options abroad, India presents an extremely unique offering – high-quality IVF and surrogacy in India by seasoned teams, at a fraction of the cost as compared to what it’s charged for these procedures in the West. At Ekmi Fertility we have traveled this journey with hundreds of families and here’s what we’ve discovered about why India continues to trump around the world.
The Real Reasons NRIs Choose India
It’s also not just about cost – though that is enormous. The medical excellence, legal clarity, and emotional familiarity all combine to render the decision well within reach.
What actually pulls NRI couples here:
- India is significantly cheaper than the US, Canada and UK – generally 60–70% cheaper and with no impact on clinical outcomes
- India has enacted a well-structured legal framework for altruistic surrogacy under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 to safeguard both intended parents and the surrogacy mother
- An experienced fertility specialist who is well versed with NRI-specific challenges – documentation, travel timelines, etc.
- It offers couples financially predictable and emotionally confident guaranteed surrogacy program in India
- Known culture, language and family support networks that help the process not feel as isolating
Global Standards of Care
That is where people’s eyebrows raised with surprise. Surrogacy clinics in the best locations in India follow identical IVF protocols, genetic testing tools, and lab technology to leading centers in Europe or North America. The difference is access. You’re not waiting eighteen months for a consultation in India.
At Ekmi Fertility, we follow this process:
- All-round screening of every surrogate: medical, psychological and legal
- IVF protocols personalized by a veteran surrogacy doctor in India
- Clear breakdown of surrogacy cost upfront – no hidden fees, no surprises
- Comprehensive in-person services for NRIs, including initial tele consultations before travel
But affordable surrogacy in India does not mean taking shortcuts either. It means a healthcare ecosystem with reduced operational costs, so clinics can pass those savings directly to patients.

FAQs
What is the average cost of surrogacy in India for NRIs?
The average cost of surrogacy varies between Rs.15–25 lakhs depending upon medical complexity, clinic and complexity. At Ekmi Fertility we provide performance-based auditing of cost with no upfront commitment.

All surrogacy mothers undergo thorough medical, mental and psychological screening. At Ekmi Fertility, we follow Indian laws of selection and the whole process is transparent.
