The 2027 Alphonso season is listed to start on 1 February 2027. This article does not declare bookings open: the live product pages and the Monthly Pass page show current windows. No 2027 prices are published yet, so use the 2026 list (₹1,849 to ₹2,999 per dozen) only as a reference.

What can we actually say about the 2027 season?
Less than many websites pretend. Alphonso runs usually from February to June. Our Press and Media kit lists the 2027 season as starting on 1 February 2027. Notice the word listed. Weather, flowering and harvest decide the real first dispatch, so treat the date as a target and check the product page for live dates.
Prices for 2027 are not published, and I will not guess them. Mango prices move with crop size, weather and demand. Anyone who quotes you an exact 2027 rate in October is guessing or selling something.
What you can do now is prepare: choose your grade, count your recipients and decide whether you want one big order or several smaller ones through the season.
Where do you find live booking windows?
Three places, in order of reliability.
- The product pages for Ratnagiri Hapus and Devgad Alphonso. If a pre-order or dispatch window exists, it appears there.
- The Monthly Pass page, which covers pre-orders dispatched in the window shown on the product page. Quantity or delivery week can be changed before dispatch.
- WhatsApp +91 70830 75556 or support@alphonsomango.in, for questions the pages do not answer.
If a booking button is not visible, the booking is not open. No blog post, forwarded message or social media comment overrides the live page.
2026 prices, for reference only
These are the prices listed for the 2026 season. Use them to size a budget, not to forecast 2027.
| Grade | Piece weight | 1 dozen | 2 dozen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 150-180 g | ₹1,849 | ₹3,499 |
| Medium | 180-220 g | ₹2,099 | ₹3,999 |
| Large | 225-250 g | ₹2,499 | ₹4,699 (Ratnagiri) / ₹4,749 (Devgad) |
| Extra large | 250-275 g | ₹2,699 | ₹4,999 |
| Jumbo | 275-300 g | ₹2,999 | ₹5,399 (Ratnagiri) / ₹5,499 (Devgad) |
Gir Kesar was ₹999 (1.4-1.6 kg) and ₹1,699 (2.7-3 kg). Alphonso pulp, which is available all year, was ₹590 for 850 g and ₹2,100 for 3.1 kg. By declared weights, Alphonso dozens worked out to around ₹800 to ₹1,030 per kg, an approximation.
One thing that will not change your planning: delivery. Under the current shipping policy, delivery is free on every order in India, so you do not need to bundle quantities to save on shipping. Check the policy again when the 2027 season opens.
How much should you book?
Start from how much fruit your household can actually finish while it is ripe. Ripe Alphonso keeps for only a few days, and a box ripens within the same short window.
- Couple or two adults: 1 dozen, small or medium, per order.
- Family of four: 1 dozen medium or large per order; reorder rather than buy 2 dozen unless you are sharing.
- Joint family or hosting: 2 dozen, or two staggered 1-dozen orders a week or ten days apart.
- Gifting: one box per household, and tell the recipient about home ripening.
Worked example for a family of four who wants mangoes through the season, say eight weeks: one medium dozen every two weeks is 4 dozen, or 4 x ₹2,099 = ₹8,396 at 2026 prices. Compare that with two 2 dozen medium boxes at ₹3,999 each, ₹7,998. The cheaper path saves ₹398 but puts 24 mangoes in your kitchen at once. Which will you really eat? Be honest.
Early-season fruit tends to be scarcer and dearer, and mid-season fruit is more plentiful. That is a general pattern in mango markets, not a promise about our 2027 prices.
What does a safe pre-order look like?
Pre-orders involve paying before the fruit exists, so a few checks are worth making.
- The page names a dispatch window, not just "coming soon".
- The seller states what happens if the window slips or your PIN code is unserviceable. Ours: a full refund if an order cannot be fulfilled because of PIN, stock or weather.
- You can change quantity or delivery week before dispatch.
- Payment is by a channel that shows the business name. Ours are prepaid by UPI, cards, net banking or wallets; there is no cash on delivery.
- You can verify the seller, as the section below shows.
Dispatch itself runs Monday to Saturday, and fresh mangoes go via BlueDart to serviceable PIN codes, shipped semi-ripe after being harvested to order and packed against the order. Enter your PIN code on the product page early so a surprise at checkout does not cost you a week.
Ripened naturally, no carbide
Early season is exactly when sellers feel tempted to force fruit to hit a date. We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally (on hay beds, as our FAQ states).
Carbide is illegal for ripening fruit in India, under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. It generates acetylene and can carry arsenic and phosphorus impurities. The approved method is controlled ethylene ripening up to 100 ppm; read the current text on fssai.gov.in. Early fruit with a bright yellow skin and a hard, tart centre should make you suspicious. So should a white or grey powder in the box. Floating in water is a weak clue; only a lab test proves treatment.
