To buy mango online, choose a seller that names the variety and origin, shows an FSSAI licence and explains how the fruit is ripened. We sell Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso, Kesar and Pairi, delivered by Blue Dart. The 2027 season opens 1 February 2027.
What to check before you buy mango online
A mango is a perishable fruit that you cannot touch or smell before you pay, so the seller's answers matter more than the photo. Before you order from any website, check these five things.
- Variety and origin. The page should say which mango it is, such as Alphonso (Hapus), Kesar or Pairi, and where it was grown.
- Licence. A food seller should be able to show an FSSAI licence number. Ours is 10020022011783.
- Ripening method. Ask how the fruit is ripened. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India.
- Dozen weight. Ask for the grade and the weight range per dozen, not only the price.
- Delivery and damage. Check the courier, whether your PIN code is served and what the seller says about damaged boxes.
We wrote this guide as the owners of AlphonsoMango.in, so we explain what we do for each point. Use the same questions with any seller you compare us with.
Mango varieties you can order from us
Most buyers searching for mangoes online want one of three varieties. Prices below are "from" prices on our product pages and can change, so check the page when you order. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade.
| Variety | Price from | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Ratnagiri Alphonso | Rs 1,849 per dozen | Eating fresh, gifting, aamras |
| Devgad Alphonso | Rs 1,849 per dozen | Eating fresh, gifting, aamras |
| Kesar | Rs 999 per box | Daily eating, juices, desserts |
| Pairi | Rs 2,799 for 1 dozen | Eating fresh, aamras |
| Alphonso pulp tin | Rs 590 (850 g tin) | Aamras, shakes, desserts all year |
Alphonso comes in several grades and goes up to Rs 5,399 for the largest Ratnagiri option. The order-online page lists larger boxes, up to Rs 10,499. Kesar is a different variety from Gujarat. Our Alphonso certificate, described below, does not cover Kesar.
Where our mangoes come from
Our Alphonso is sourced across 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Ratnagiri is a district and Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district. Both grow the same variety, called Alphonso in English and Hapus or Hapoos in Marathi, and we do not rank one above the other.
Alphonso from this belt is GI-tagged in India (GI No. 139). We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). You can read the details on our Brand Facts page. Our fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, so the mango is cut rather than dropped.
Powle Home Foods, which runs AlphonsoMango.in from Mumbai, made its first sales offline in 2019 and has sold online since 2020. We have served 47,000+ customers, including offline and marketplace sales.
How the mango is ripened
This is the question we would ask first as a buyer. Calcium carbide releases acetylene gas and is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. Ethylene up to 100 ppm is the permitted alternative.
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Mature fruit is laid on hay beds and ripens over several days. Our guide to identifying carbide-ripened mangoes online lists the clues buyers use.
No look, smell or home test proves how a mango was ripened. A bucket-of-water test is only a rough clue, not proof. The reliable checks are the seller's licence and the answers the seller gives you in writing.
Delivery and packing
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout, because we do not promise next-day delivery for a named city. Each box is packed for transit, and fruit should be opened and checked on arrival.
If a box arrives damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery. Ask any seller what happens next before you order, because return terms differ between websites. For more on courier timing, see our guide to mango delivery periods.
We ship within India. We deliver directly to the UAE. For other countries, shipments have been arranged through the customer's contact abroad, so write to us first if you want to send mangoes abroad.
Season, price and what to order
The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. Outside the season fresh Alphonso is not sold, but Alphonso pulp tins (850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590) are available all year.
- For gifting: choose a dozen of Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso and add the recipient's address at checkout.
- For aamras and desserts: a pulp tin saves the peeling and works in any month.
- For daily eating: Kesar is a lighter-priced box from Rs 999.
Our mango collection shows every variety. If you are comparing sellers, our Alphonso mango online guide and order mangoes online guide cover the steps in more detail.
Ordering mangoes online as a gift
Many online orders are gifts for family in another city. Enter the recipient's address and PIN code at checkout, and tell the recipient to expect a box so someone is home to receive it. Fruit that arrives firm should be kept at room temperature until it softens and smells sweet near the stalk.
If you are buying for an office or several families, write to us with the quantity, the cities and the dates you need, and we will tell you what is possible. Our corporate gifting guide lists the questions to ask any supplier.
What a mango gives you
Mango is a fruit worth eating in season. About 100 g of raw mango provides roughly 36 mg of vitamin C, around 40% of the Daily Value. Alphonso pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous, which is why it blends smoothly into shakes, smoothies and aamras. If you have diabetes or another condition, ask your doctor or dietitian how much mango suits you.

It is safe when the seller is a licensed food business and answers your questions plainly. Look for an FSSAI licence, a stated ripening method and clear delivery terms. Open the box on arrival and report any damage within 24 hours of delivery. We follow that 24-hour rule for our own orders.
