Top 10 IVF Doctors in India 2026

Infertility incidence among couples is estimated to be around 10-15% in India, leading to the ever-increasing demand for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) centers. Clinical availability has increased across the country, but the embryological results, diagnostic depth, and pricing or cumulative live-birth rates remain subjects of debate and variability among providers.

To create an objective measure to give a prospective couple venturing into the world of reproductive medicine, our editorial board undertook a comprehensive clinical audit exercise in major medical metropolises in India.
