Devgad Hapus is Alphonso mango from the Devgad belt on the Konkan coast, sold by AlphonsoMango.in by the dozen from Rs 1,849. This guide covers how we source it, how it compares with Ratnagiri, the 2027 season and how to order online.
What Devgad Hapus is
Hapus is the Marathi name for the Alphonso mango. Devgad Hapus and Devgad Alphonso therefore refer to the same variety, grown on the same coast. Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district, and Ratnagiri is a district. Both sit on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra, in the belt we source from.
Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt is listed in India under GI No. 139. That is the origin and certificate we describe on our Devgad product page. Check the origin and the certificate number on any listing before you buy, whichever seller you choose.
Where our Devgad fruit comes from
We source our fruit across 55 villages in the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Our Devgad fruit is covered by GI Authorised User certificate AU/6932, and our Ratnagiri fruit is covered by GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139).
Harvest for all our Alphonso is done at Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn hours. Ripening is the step buyers ask about most, so here is the short answer before the detail.
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds.
Ratnagiri or Devgad: how to choose
Both are Alphonso, sold by the dozen, and both are listed in the same box sizes. We do not rank one above the other, and we do not claim that either ripens earlier or later. Choose by the origin you want on the label and by the size you need.
When you compare listings, read four details: the origin, the certificate number, the dozen size and the delivery note. A clear listing states all four. If a listing does not show the origin, ask the seller before you pay, and keep the answer in your order notes.
Start with the box size you can finish while the fruit is at its best. Then compare the Devgad Alphonso Mango page with the Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango page for the sizes and the current price. Compare the dozen, the size and the origin, rather than a headline number on its own.
Dozen size and price
We sell Alphonso by the dozen, not by weight, and we do not quote a per-kg rate. Alphonso is listed from Rs 1,849 per dozen, and the largest Ratnagiri option goes up to Rs 5,399. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade, so the box size you choose decides how much fruit arrives.
For eating whole or sliced, a larger fruit means fewer pieces to cut. For aamras, shakes and kulfi, any size works, and the smaller sizes cost less per dozen. For gifting, even fruit in a larger size looks best in a box.
Delivery and damage
We dispatch by Blue Dart. About 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery, but we do not promise a day for every city, so enter your PIN code at checkout to see the option for your address.
If fruit arrives damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery to support@alphonsomango.in or on 8369048029. Fresh mangoes are perishable, so open the box on arrival and lay the fruit in a single layer at room temperature, away from direct sun. The selection, storage and ripening guide explains how to read each mango.
Season and pulp
Fresh Alphonso is harvested about February to June, and supply is best from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Outside the season fresh Alphonso is not sold, and stock changes as the season moves on, so check the product page on the day you order. The Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin is available all year in 850 g and 3.1 kg tins, from Rs 590.
The pulp is a practical choice for shakes, desserts and kulfi when fresh fruit is out of season. It is the simplest way to keep Alphonso flavour in the kitchen between seasons.
Ways to use Devgad fruit
Most buyers eat Devgad Alphonso fresh, cut into slices or cubes, and many serve it as a dessert on its own. Some families make aamras, a smooth pulp served with puris, and others blend the fruit into milkshakes or use it as the base for kulfi. The fruit suits all of these uses, so choose the size that fits the one you plan first.
For a gathering, plan the number of fruits per guest before you order. A dozen goes further when the fruit is cut for a dessert platter than when it is served whole, so think about how the fruit will be served and then choose the box.
Checking and ripening your box
Firm fruit needs a few days at room temperature before it is ready. A ripe mango gives slightly under gentle thumb pressure and has a sweet smell at the stalk end. Do not chill firm fruit, because cold slows the ripening that the fruit still needs.
Look for even colour, smooth skin and a clean aroma when you open the box. A sour or fermented smell means the fruit has passed its best, so eat it at once or discard it, and report it within 24 hours of delivery if it arrived that way.
Kesar and Pairi
Kesar is a different variety from Alphonso. It is sold as a half-dozen from Rs 999 or a dozen from Rs 1,699, and the Kesar mango page sets out the options. Pairi is listed from Rs 2,799 for a dozen. We do not describe Kesar or Pairi with GI wording, and each product has its own page.
