A cesarean section (C-section or LSCS) is the surgical delivery of a baby through incisions in the mother's abdomen and uterus. It is performed when vaginal delivery poses risks, including breech presentation, placenta previa, cord prolapse, fetal distress, cephalopelvic disproportion, previous C-section, and certain maternal health conditions. C-sections account for approximately 30–40% of all deliveries in Chennai's private hospitals.

Approximate Chennai market ranges. Actual pricing varies by hospital and complexity.
| Hospital | General Ward | Private/Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| Government | ₹5,000–₹15,000 | — |
| Small Private | ₹30,000–₹75,000 | ₹40,000–₹1,00,000 |
| Mid-Tier | ₹65,000–₹1,10,000 | ₹70,000–₹1,55,000 |
| Premium | ₹1,00,000–₹1,55,000 | ₹1,50,000–₹2,50,000 |
Emergency C-sections cost 20–40% more due to OT readiness charges, extended monitoring, and potential NICU needs.
The biggest variable. General ward (₹1,500–₹3,000/night) vs deluxe suite (₹10,000–₹25,000). 3–4 nights multiplies this difference.
If a baby needs NICU admission, charges are ₹5,000–₹25,000 per day — the single biggest hidden cost escalator.
Spinal anaesthesia is standard (₹5,000–₹10,000). General anaesthesia if needed adds more.
