Dr. Nikhil D. Datar is an Indian obstetrician, gynaecologist, and health rights activist based in Mumbai. He is renowned for his clinical expertise in managing high-risk pregnancies and for his advocacy in reforming India's reproductive healthcare laws, particularly the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act. Dr. Datar played a pivotal role in extending the legal abortion limit from 20 to 24 weeks in India.[1][2]

He further obtained qualifications including DGO, DNB, FCPS, FICOG, and a Diploma in Hospital Administration. In 2009, he was awarded the Commonwealth Professional Fellowship by the UK's Department of Health.[3]

Dr. Datar has served as a postgraduate teacher at R. N. Cooper Hospital and held consultant positions at Nanavati Hospital and Hinduja Healthcare Surgical Hospital.[4]
Legal advocacy and activism

In 2008, he filed a landmark petition challenging the 20-week abortion limit under the MTP Act, following a case where a woman was compelled to carry a fetus with severe abnormalities to term.[1] His sustained legal efforts contributed to the 2021 amendment of the MTP Act, which extended the permissible abortion period to 24 weeks in specific cases.[2]
In 2023, Dr. Datar became the first individual in Mumbai to notarize a "living will," advocating for the right to a dignified death and raising awareness about end-of-life choices.[5]
