Best Surrogacy Centres in Varanasi: Quick Answer
Varanasi is the fertility hub for Purvanchal, and couples travel in from Mirzapur, Ghazipur, Jaunpur and across the border in western Bihar. Most clinics sit within a short auto ride of Sigra and Mahmoorganj. These five publish enough to compare.

How We Scored Varanasi’s Centres
We use the same five measures for every city. Each point comes from something the centre publishes on its own website, or from the national ART registry list. Group-wide figures (for example, a chain’s total pregnancies) count one band lower than figures for the centre itself or its lead doctor, so a big chain does not win on size alone. We do not accept payment for placement.

Before You Choose a Surrogacy Centre in Varanasi
Sigra, Mahmoorganj and Bhelupur are close together, so you can compare two or three clinics in one trip from Varanasi Junction or Cantt. Birla is the only group here with a Varanasi surrogacy page; at other clinics, ask how they handle the altruistic-surrogacy paperwork before you start.
- Check the centre’s ART registration and ask for its separate surrogacy clinic registration.
- Ask what its success rate measures (pregnancy test, pregnancy per transfer or live birth) and for which year.
- Ask how many surrogacy cases it has completed, not just IVF cycles.
- Get a written, itemised quote and ask which hospital handles the delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best surrogacy centre in Varanasi?
On our published scoring, Birla Fertility & IVF – Sigra scores highest in Varanasi (65/100). The only chain here with a Varanasi surrogacy page, and its lead doctor gives her own cycle count.
How many of these Varanasi centres are registered at Level 2?
0 of the 5 centres are listed at Level 2 on the national ART registry list we use. Surrogacy needs a separate registration, so ask each centre for it.
How much does surrogacy cost at these Varanasi centres?
A complete altruistic surrogacy journey costs about ₹10–18 lakh, based on the itemised Varanasi range on our cost page. Always ask for a written, itemised quote.
Are these success rates verified?
No. They are what each centre reports on its own website, and they measure different things. We score how clearly a centre explains its figure rather than the number itself.
Why does a big chain rank below a local clinic?
Group-wide numbers count one band lower than a centre’s own figures, and centres lose points when they publish no surrogacy service or no success rate. Size alone does not decide the rank.
