AlphonsoMango.in is a mango Mumbai store run by Powle Home Foods, delivering GI-tagged Alphonso (Hapus) from Ratnagiri and Devgad — season February to June, Devgad Alphonso priced from ₹1849, delivered to Mumbai in 1–3 days by BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees.

Both the physical Kurla store and the website ship the same fruit — GI-tagged Hapus sourced directly from 55 villages across Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg. If you cannot visit, order online and the box reaches most Mumbai addresses within 20–24 hours of dispatch.
Fresh Alphonso is not available July to January. If you land here off-season, the cashews and dry fruits ship all year. The mango season runs February to June, with the peak between March and May.
Ratnagiri vs Devgad: Which to buy?
| Feature | Ratnagiri Alphonso | Devgad Alphonso |
|---|---|---|
| GI Tag | GI No. 139, AU/5974/GI/139/260 | GI No. 139, AU/6932 |
| Season window | February – May (peak March–April) | March – June (peak April–May) |
| Brix at ripeness | 18–24° | 18–24° (typically upper range) |
| Fruit weight | 150–275 g and above, by grade | 150–275 g and above, by grade |
| Grades available | Small, Medium, Extra Large, Jumbo | Small, Medium, Extra Large, Jumbo |

| Popular with | North India, repeat buyers who prefer firmer texture | Mumbai buyers, export customers |
Repeat-order data from 47,000+ customers shows a clear pattern: north India leans Ratnagiri, Mumbai leans Devgad. Both carry the same GI number (139). The difference is geography — Devgad sits on a sea-facing coastal strip in Sindhudurg where the laterite soil and sea breeze push Brix consistently toward the upper end of that 18–24° range.
Delivery to Mumbai
Fruit leaves the Ratnagiri or Devgad packhouse within 48–72 hours of harvest. Air-conditioned vehicles carry it to the Mumbai packhouse, where it spends 24–48 hours on a natural hay bed. From there, BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees (assigned by pin code) take it to your door. Metro Mumbai addresses typically receive the box 20–24 hours after dispatch.
The fruit ships at 70–80% ripeness, firm enough to survive transit without bruising. It ripens fully within about three days of delivery — so do not refrigerate an unripe box. If anything arrives damaged or fails quality, photograph or video the fruit and packaging and send it on WhatsApp within 24 hours of delivery. No physical return is needed. Powle Home Foods will dispatch a fresh replacement or credit your account for the next order.
What if the fruit arrives unripe?
Leave the box at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. The hay-bed start at the Mumbai packhouse gives the ripening process a head start. Three days at room temperature is usually enough. Refrigerating at this stage stops ripening and ruins texture — wait until the fruit is fully soft and fragrant before chilling briefly before eating.
Where the fruit comes from
Prashant Powle built the sourcing network starting in 2017, before Powle Home Foods was registered in July 2019. The supply base now covers 55 named villages across Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts. On the Devgad side: Devgad, Jamsande, Vijaydurg, Dahibav, Hindale, Naringre, Kanyabag, Padel, Girye and more. On the Ratnagiri side: Pawas, Golap, Nachane, Mavalange, Waravade, Purnagad and others. Each orchard in the network is typically 12–25 years old, sea-facing, selected for Brix consistency and sound alternate-bearing management.
Over 100 partner farmer families supply under strict cultivation SOPs — specifying which natural sprays and fertilisers are used from flowering to harvest. Carbide and ethylene chambers are ruled out at every stage, not as a marketing claim but as a physical constraint of how the packhouse and transport chain are set up.
Harvesting practice
Fruit is hand-harvested using a Nutan or Zela pole fitted with a catching net and a cutting mechanism. The tree is never shaken and the fruit never falls. For tall trees, an indigenously developed length-extending pole with a camera is used so the picker can see and cut precisely. This matters because a bruise at harvest becomes a soft spot at delivery — and Alphonso lenticels blacken when rubbed, making surface friction during picking as damaging as transit shock.
GI authentication
Both Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso carry GI Tag No. 139. Powle Home Foods holds GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI Registry Certificate No. 4163, issued 16 October 2019) and AU/6932 for Devgad. FSSAI licence 10020022011783, APEDA registration 225579. Ratnagiri Alphonso won the Gold Medal at the national One District One Product (ODOP) Awards 2024 — a district-product award, not a brand award, but it confirms the region's standing.
How the mangoes are ripened
Natural hay-bed (Aadi) ripening only, in temperature-controlled rooms. No ethylene chambers, no calcium carbide, no artificial ripening agents of any kind. The 24–48 hours at the Mumbai packhouse is natural ripening on hay, monitored, not gas-triggered. This is the same method used across Konkan for generations and the only method Powle Home Foods uses — the NABL-accredited Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd. (Thane, certificate TC-8284) tested 28 pesticide residues in the 5 April 2025 report; all 28 were within Codex maximum residue limits, 27 of 28 below the limit of quantification (0.01 mg/kg). The lab does not test calcium carbide because no carbide is present to detect.
Post-harvest, each fruit goes through a controlled hot-water treatment to reduce surface issues and extend shelf life. It then goes through post-harvest cooling at the packhouse before the air-conditioned truck run to Mumbai. Every mango is weighed, graded and scanned by an AI/ML-assisted machine that checks for internal deformities like spongy tissue and external surface defects before packing.
How to order
- Select your grade: Choose Devgad Alphonso (₹1849–₹5499 per box, grades from Small at 150–180 g to Jumbo at 275–300 g) or Ratnagiri Alphonso at current season pricing — both on alphonsomango.in/collections/mango.
- Add to cart: Select half dozen, one dozen or two dozen — then enter your Mumbai pin code to confirm serviceability across 15,000–17,000 serviceable pin codes in India.
- Dispatch: Powle Home Foods packs the box in a 5-ply corrugated CFB box with a 12-slot partition, foam-net sleeves and a hay bed, then hands it to BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on your pin code — most Mumbai addresses receive the box 20–24 hours after dispatch.
Nutrition
Ripe Alphonso pulp contains roughly 30–36 mg of vitamin C per 100 g. A 100 g serving covers about 40–45% of the ICMR-NIN 2020 RDA for adult men (80 mg/day) and about 50% for adult women (65 mg/day). Mangiferin, a polyphenol present in Alphonso, showed anti-inflammatory activity in a 2011 cell study by Govindappa et al. These are useful numbers — not a treatment claim.
Alphonso pulp from Pawas or Golap in Ratnagiri or from Devgad proper tends to be fibre-free and deep saffron-coloured at full ripeness, which is partly what makes it suitable as a first fruit for babies from about 6 months. Keep that as a serving suggestion and check with your paediatrician for the child's specific needs.
Storage after delivery
Unripe fruit: room temperature, no direct sun, three days. Ripe fruit: refrigerate briefly (30–60 minutes) before eating, but not for extended storage — Alphonso texture degrades in the cold. Cut fruit: airtight container, refrigerator, consume within two days. Never freeze whole mangoes; the cell walls rupture and the texture collapses.
The packaging helps here. Each mango sits in a foam-net sleeve (flat width 50–55 mm, length 100–120 mm) inside a 12-slot partition that takes the pressure of transit rather than passing it to the fruit. Six air holes in the top and bottom panels keep airflow going so condensation evaporates rather than pooling. That is why the box can also serve as a ripening chamber after delivery — leave the lid slightly open.
