Heart bypass surgery in India has an indicative package cost of $4,000 to $5,500 at Shifara partner hospitals. That figure is a starting point. Your own cost depends on your reports, the hospital you choose and your care plan, and it is confirmed in a written estimate before you travel.
What is heart bypass surgery?
Coronary artery bypass surgery, commonly known as CABG, is performed when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. A healthy blood vessel, usually taken from the chest, leg or arm, is used to create a new route around the blockage and restore blood flow to the heart.

What your written estimate should list
Two estimates are only comparable if they cover the same things. Before you decide, ask the hospital to confirm each of these in writing:
- Surgeon and operating theatre charges
- Room category, and the number of days in the ICU and the ward
- Standard medicines and tests before and after surgery
- Anything charged separately, and what happens if your stay runs longer
- Follow-up consultations, including after you return home
Costs patients often forget
The hospital estimate covers your treatment, not your whole trip. When you plan your budget, also allow for:
- Flights for the patient and anyone travelling with them
- The visa fee, paid on the official website. Our India medical visa guide explains the process
- A guest house or serviced apartment near the hospital for family members
- A step-down care stay after discharge, if your doctor advises one before you fly
- Everyday expenses such as food, local transport and a local SIM card
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery after a bypass takes time. Your case manager coordinates step-down care, dietary and rehabilitation guidance, your return travel when you are ready, and the follow-up that continues after you are home.
