What Apollo Fertility does

Apollo Fertility is a multi-center assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinic chain operating 17 centres across 11 Indian cities, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and emerging markets such as Guwahati and Chandigarh. The company is a subsidiary of Apollo Health and Lifestyle Limited (AHLL), itself part of the Apollo Hospitals Group, and was launched in May 2016 with its first standalone centre in Chennai. Apollo Fertility offers a comprehensive ART service line covering IVF (in-vitro fertilization), IUI (intrauterine insemination), ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), cryopreservation (egg, embryo, and sperm freezing), advanced genetic screening (ERA, PGS/PGD), laser-assisted hatching, reproductive surgery, donor programs, and surrogacy, supported by a specialty andrology service branded Apollo Androcare. Clinically, the network is staffed by reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists, and andrologists with documented international training at centres including Monash IVF and Yale Fertility.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer healthcare model with no B2B or institutional customers; patients access services through walk-in visits, a national phone line (1860 500 8484), or website-based appointment booking. Pricing is pay-as-you-go per cycle: IUI ranges from approximately ₹3,000-50,000 depending on city, egg freezing packages are priced at ₹150,000-170,000, while IVF pricing is quote-based with a reported success rate of 55% for women under 35. Cumulative reported outcomes include 37,500+ couples helped, 20,200+ IUI procedures, 18,050+ IVF cycles, and 3,150+ donor cycles. The company employs 51-100 staff, relies heavily on the Apollo brand and doctor referrals for patient acquisition, and pursues geographic expansion through new clinic launches in underserved Indian metros.

As of May 2026, Apollo Fertility's strategic direction is being reshaped by a divestiture transaction in which Cloudnine Hospitals signed an exclusivity agreement to acquire Apollo Cradle and Apollo Fertility from AHLL for approximately ₹1,550 crore, with AHLL retaining a 9.9% stake in the combined entity that will operate more than 55 centres across key Indian markets. The deal signals a consolidation play in India's fragmented maternity and fertility sector and positions the combined network as a scaled national platform.

Products and services

• IVF Treatment (In Vitro Fertilization) In-vitro fertilization treatment in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus; offered to couples experiencing infertility.
• IUI Treatment (Intrauterine Insemination) Fertility treatment that places specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus to increase the chances of conception, offered as a first-line assisted reproduction option.
• ICSI Treatment (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) Advanced fertility treatment in which a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg to facilitate fertilization, primarily for male factor infertility.
• Oocyte Vitrification (Egg Freezing) Egg freezing service that allows women to preserve their eggs for future pregnancy using vitrification; targeted at women seeking elective fertility preservation and medical fertility preservation (e.g., before cancer treatment).
