Indira IVF Hospital Limited has taken a stake in Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited, which runs the Abha Surgy Centre fertility clinic in India. This move merges Indira IVF's national network and technology with Abha Surgy's regional expertise in assisted reproduction. The partnership addresses rising demand for fertility services amid West Bengal's falling birth rates.
Declining Fertility Rates Heighten Need for Specialized Care
West Bengal's total fertility rate dropped to 1.3 in 2023 from 1.7 in 2013, according to the Sample Registration System Statistical Report 2023, as cited in a 2025 report. This places the state below the national replacement level of 2.1, with the lowest urban rate and second-lowest rural rate in India. Such demographic shifts signal growing reliance on assisted reproductive technologies, as delayed childbearing and lifestyle factors reduce natural conception rates. Fertility clinics now fill critical gaps, offering treatments like IVF to couples facing infertility.
Abha Surgy's Legacy Meets Indira IVF's Scale
Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited centers its work on patient-focused reproductive care, guided by Dr. Bani Mitra, who brings over three decades of experience in fertility and gynaecological services across Eastern India. The clinic emphasizes clinical excellence and personalized support, extending its reach through community efforts like the ‘Anyatama – Anya Naarir Golpo’ award. Indira IVF adds its extensive infrastructure, advanced tools, and nationwide presence, creating a stronger platform for consistent care delivery in the region.
Shared Vision Drives Expanded Access
Dr. Kshitiz Murdia, CEO and Whole Time Director of Indira IVF, stated, “This association reflects our continued commitment to expanding access to fertility treatment while maintaining a strong focus on clinical quality and patient outcomes. Abha Surgy Centre brings with it regional presence, a legacy in reproductive healthcare, and a patient-centric approach that aligns closely with our values. Together, we see an opportunity to further strengthen how fertility services are delivered in Eastern India in a manner that is thoughtful, consistent, and accessible.”
Surabhi Mitra, Promoter of Abha Surgy Centre, added, “At Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited, the journey has always been centred on providing personalised and compassionate fertility care supported by clinical expertise and trust built over the years. This association with Indira IVF marks an important new chapter for us, enabling us to further strengthen our capabilities while continuing to uphold the values that define our practice. By combining our experience with Indira IVF’s wider network and technological strengths, we look forward to supporting many more individuals and couples in their journey towards parenthood.”
This collaboration promises improved patient experiences through unified standards, broader reach, and enhanced resources, as Indira IVF grows its footprint while responding to India's evolving fertility landscape.
