Surrogacy in India was once a popular choice for intended parents from around the world seeking affordable and accessible surrogacy services. However, in 2015, the Indian government implemented a ban on commercial surrogacy for foreigners, effectively ending international surrogacy in India.

Since then, surrogacy in India has been limited to Indian citizens and non-resident Indians (NRIs), and only altruistic surrogacy is allowed, meaning that the surrogate mother must be a close relative of the intended parents and cannot receive any compensation for carrying the pregnancy.

Despite the ban on commercial surrogacy for foreigners, India still has a number of reputable clinics and agencies offering surrogacy services to Indian citizens and NRIs. These clinics typically offer a range of services, including medical assessments, IVF, embryo transfer, and pregnancy monitoring, as well as legal and logistical support throughout the process.

It’s important to note that surrogacy can be a complex and emotionally challenging process, and it’s important to work with a reputable clinic or agency that can provide thorough guidance and support. It’s also important to thoroughly research and understand the legal and ethical implications of surrogacy in India, especially for those who are not Indian citizens or NRIs.
