IVF Cost in India for Mauritian Couples, in Rupees and MUR

Medically reviewed by Dr Anoop Gupta, Director, Delhi IVF & Fertility Research Centre

Key Facts at a Glance

1. Costs are indicative. Your final cost depends on your medical assessment, and additional tests, medicines or treatments may be needed. It is confirmed in your written estimate.

Are Indian Rupees and Mauritian Rupees the Same?

No. They share a name and a history, but they're separate currencies with different values. At October 2026 rates, ₹1 equals about Rs 0.50, and Rs 1 equals about ₹2.

A simple rule of thumb: halve the Indian price to get a rough Mauritian rupee figure. It isn't exact, because the rate moves every day, but it's close enough to sense-check any quote you're given.

This also matters when you read Indian websites, which often write large numbers in lakhs. One lakh is 100,000. So ₹1.5 lakh is ₹150,000, which is roughly Rs 75,000.

How Much Does IVF Cost in India in Mauritian Rupees?

At Delhi IVF, one IVF cycle comes to about Rs 75,100 to Rs 125,200*, or ₹1.5 to ₹2.5 lakh*. That covers egg collection under sedation, laboratory work, embryo culture, and the embryo transfer.

Here's the itemised picture, following the same structure as our IVF cost breakdown for India:

1. Costs are indicative. Your final cost depends on your medical assessment, and additional tests, medicines or treatments may be needed. It is confirmed in your written estimate.

What makes one couple's IVF cost more than another's?

Three things move the total more than anything else:

1. Medicine doses. A woman in her late twenties with a healthy egg reserve may need a modest dose. A woman nearing forty with a low AMH usually needs more, for longer. This alone can change the bill by Rs 25,000 or more.
2. ICSI. If sperm count or movement is low, ICSI adds ₹15,000 to ₹30,000*.
3. Whether you need extras. Genetic screening, embryo freezing or a second trip for a frozen transfer each add cost, but only some couples need them.

That's why we only confirm a figure after reading your reports. A quote given without them can only be approximate.

IVF does not always succeed in the first cycle, and some couples need more than one, so it is sensible to budget for that possibility. Your doctor will explain your own chances.

Does a Frozen Embryo Transfer Change the Total Cost?

It can, mostly because of travel rather than treatment.

If your embryos are frozen and transferred on a later visit, you pay for embryo freezing and a frozen embryo transfer, plus a second set of flights and about a week's accommodation. For Mauritian couples, the weekly Air Mauritius nonstop makes that second trip simple to plan, and the week-by-week IVF plan from Mauritius shows how the first trip fits around the flight.

A freeze-all approach isn't chosen to save money. It's chosen when it gives you a better chance of success, for example, when embryos are going for genetic screening or the womb lining needs more time. Your doctor will explain if it applies to you.

Is IVF Cheaper in India Than in Mauritius?

Often, yes, but compare carefully. IVF is available in Mauritius at a small number of private fertility centres, which generally don't publish their prices online and quote after a consultation.

The fair way to compare is to get written quotes from both and check them against the same list:

1. Is the consultation included?
2. Are the stimulation medicines included, and for how many days?
3. Is ICSI included, or charged separately?
4. Is embryo freezing included, and for how long?
5. Is the embryo transfer included, and is a frozen transfer charged separately?
6. Are blood tests and scans during stimulation included?

Once both quotes cover the same items, add the cost of travel to the India figure. For many Mauritian couples, India still comes out lower, especially for complex cases that need ICSI, genetic screening or several cycles. For a straightforward first cycle, the gap can be smaller than people expect, and that's worth knowing before you decide.

Many couples also consider India for reasons beyond price, such as a short flight and a familiar culture. Delhi IVF & Fertility Research Centre, New Delhi, was established in 1993.

What Other Costs Should Mauritian Couples Budget For?

Beyond the treatment itself, plan for these. Each depends on your dates and choices, so price them for your own trip.

1. Flights. One return trip for two on the Air Mauritius nonstop or a one-stop route, plus a second trip if you need a frozen transfer. A changeable ticket costs a little more but protects you if your egg collection date moves. If his test results are normal, your husband may need only three to four working days in Delhi, which can lower his costs, though he's welcome to stay throughout.
2. Accommodation. Three to six weeks for a full cycle with a fresh transfer, depending on your medical condition, or about two weeks plus a shorter second trip if your embryos are frozen. Delhi IVF also has in-house accommodation for international patients. Photos and prices are available on request.
3. Visa. Under India's fee schedule dated 15 April 2026, Mauritian citizens pay no fee for the patient's e-Medical visa or for a companion's e-Medical Attendant visa, apart from a 3 percent bank charge on each. OCI cardholders don't need a visa at all.
4. Daily costs. Food, local taxis or ride apps, and an Indian SIM card.
5. Time off work. Not a bill, but a real cost for many couples. Three to six weeks is a long time away.

It's also worth asking your insurer, in writing, whether your policy covers any part of fertility treatment abroad. Many health policies exclude fertility treatment, but it costs nothing to check.

How Do Mauritian Couples Pay for IVF in India?

Clinic fees in India are charged in Indian rupees. You have three practical options:

1. International bank transfer. For bigger payments, a transfer from your Mauritian bank is the cleanest option. Get the account details from the clinic itself, never from a third party, and confirm them by phone before you send anything.
2. Debit or credit card. Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in Delhi. Tell your bank you'll be in India, so payments aren't blocked as suspicious.
3. Cash. US dollars and euros are easy to exchange in Delhi. Mauritian rupees are much harder to exchange in India, so don't rely on them.

If you're carrying cash, India requires you to declare foreign currency on arrival if the notes are worth more than USD 5,000, or if your total foreign exchange is worth more than USD 10,000.

How Do You Get an Exact Figure?

An exact figure is given only after your reports have been reviewed. Once Dr Anoop Gupta or Dr Aastha Gupta has gone through them with you on a video call, you receive a written treatment plan and cost estimate, listing what's included, what isn't, and which extras you're likely to need. Treatment in Delhi is directed by Dr Anoop Gupta, with Dr Aastha Gupta and Dr Vinnie Sandhu, and the embryology laboratory is led by Mrs Alka Gupta, Chief Embryologist.

The IVF price in India in USD, GBP, CAD, MUR and ETB is useful if one partner earns or saves in another currency.

Every case is different. Discuss your options with your fertility specialist.
