Hair transplant cost in India: price per graft, by stage and city
Most Indian clinics price by the graft. FUE is commonly advertised at ₹35–75 per graft, so a typical 1,500–2,500 graft case lands between ₹52,500 and ₹1,87,500. Your real price depends on your graft count, the technique and who does the work.

Hair transplant cost by city
Overall price bands that clinics publish for common cases. Metro clinics with high overheads usually sit at the upper end.
What pushes the price up or down
- Number of grafts. The single biggest factor. Larger areas and the crown need more.
- Who does the work. Surgeon-performed extraction and placement costs more than technician-led workflows.
- Technique and add-ons. DHI, Sapphire blades, PRP or branded 'bio' add-ons raise the price. Ask what each adds for you.
- City and clinic setting. Metro clinics and hospital-based practices often charge more.
- What's included. Medicines, follow-up visits, washing sessions and GST can add a meaningful amount.
FAQs
What is the cost of a hair transplant per graft in India?
Clinics in India commonly publish about ₹25–45 per graft for FUT, ₹35–75 for FUE and ₹50–110+ for DHI or Sapphire FUE (September 2026). Some metro clinics charge more.
How much does a 2,000 graft hair transplant cost?
At published FUE rates of ₹35–75 per graft, 2,000 grafts would cost about ₹70,000 to ₹1,50,000 before any extras such as medicines or GST.
Why are some hair transplant quotes much cheaper?
Lower prices can reflect lower overheads, but they can also mean technicians do more of the surgery, fewer follow-ups are included, or the graft count is optimistic. Compare who operates and what is included, not just the price.
Is GST charged on hair transplants?
Clinics treat tax differently on cosmetic procedures. Ask each clinic whether its quote includes GST and get the final amount in writing.
