An alarming demographic shift is happening in India that many are not aware about it. While most people call out India as the most populus Country in the world, it is only a matter of time that we will start seeing a sharp decline. As an example, the Total Fertility Rate in India has decreased from 3.2 in the Year 2000 to an estimated 1.8 in 2026. India stood above the Global average of 2.7 Total Fertility Rate in the Year 2000 and now is below the Global average Total Fertility Rate of 2.2 in 2026.
As per Dr Mona Dahiya, below are the 3 prominent reasons for this decline in Total Fertility Rate.
A sharp decline in the TFR in the Top Urban Metropolitan Cities as married couples are delaying Parenthood. Urban women are now getting their First pregnancy within the age group of (30-35) Years.
Rising factors of Pathological infertility due to environmental problems, PCOD/PCOS in women and rising male infertility factors like low sperm count.
Lack of education and affordable access to public healthcare services for couples battling with infertility challenges.
The situation is very grim and most medical statistics indicate now that nearly 15% of Indian couples now face challenges in conceiving a child naturally. It is only a matter of time that this problem will become one of the biggest medical challenges of this century. We will soon be staring at a situation where couples are wanting a child but unable to conceive due to biological, lifestyle factor or limited medical access. The Government Healthcare sector has hardly made any contributions in training doctors to become fertility physicians. In India, most of the infertility advice or treatment is given by Gynaecologists who have not got any specialized fertility degrees or residency knowledge. The Number of super speciality seats in India is about (50-100) compared to 1000’s that are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About IVF Treatment
1. Is IVF the only solution for infertility?
IVF is not the only solution for all infertility problems. Careful diagnosis of medical history and reliable fertility tests can lead to simpler and cost-effective treatments like IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) and ovulation induction medications. In certain cases, minor laparoscopic surgeries may be suggested to clear tubal blockages. IVF is only advised for severely blocked fallopian tubes, severe male infertility, advanced maternal age, or PCOS/PCOD problems.

35–37: 40% – 50% per cycle.
38–40: 30% – 40% per cycle.
Over 40: 10% – 20% (Donor Egg IVF is generally recommended)
