Dietitian and nutritionist in India: prices, rules and booking

Updated 4 November 2026

A session with a dietitian or nutritionist in India usually costs between ₹500 and ₹3,000, and in Delhi the range most often quoted is ₹500 to ₹1,500. A customised plan with follow-up support starts from about ₹2,998 on one provider's page. For current prices in your city, post a request on BlaBlaPrice and receive offers in the chat.

Check the title before you pay

The word dietitian is not legally protected in India, so anyone can use it. The NCAHP Act 2021 names nutritionists as nutrition science professionals, but no licence for the title can be obtained yet. Ask which degree the person holds. A B.Sc. or M.Sc. in nutrition and dietetics is the usual base, and the national dietetic association's registration eligibility asks for a graduate degree with at least four nutrition subjects, such as biochemistry, human physiology and diet therapy.

Season and climate

The climate here is tropical, hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. So demand does not peak in one cold month. What changes is the heat and rain: in hot or wet weeks a dietitian may plan lighter meals and more fluids, so tell them which months you can realistically keep to a plan and whether you travel.

How consultations and plans are priced

Consultation fees are normally quoted per session, and the price depends on the city. A diet plan is usually a package with follow-up, so check how many check-ins it includes and how long the support lasts. Some providers list video consultations next to in-person visits, which helps when you live far from the clinic. Ask whether the quoted fee is final before the first session.

What to put in your request

Describe the purpose in your own words, for example weight management, a diet after a health check, or support for a child. Say who the client is, whether there is a health condition such as diabetes or thyroid, and whether you want one consultation or a plan with support over several weeks. Add your city and a budget in rupees, so that dietitians can reply with a price that fits.

Post your request on BlaBlaPrice in your own words, with a photo if it helps. The AI asks for any missing details and looks through sellers' websites in India, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Dietitians registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to share them with.
