The mango festival Delhi runs late June to early July at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, organised by DTTDC since 1987, showcasing 500+ varieties. Delhi residents can also order GI-certified Alphonso mango online from AlphonsoMango.in once the 2027 season starts on 1 February 2027. Orders placed before 12 noon IST (Monday to Saturday) are dispatched the same day. Delivery takes 1 to 3 days for most PIN codes and 1 to 2 days to most metros, depending on your PIN code. Fresh mangoes are delivered by Blue Dart to more than 4,700 PIN codes.
Buy Alphonso Mango Online — Delhi
The mango festival Delhi is held once a year. The fruit itself is available for just three to four months. If you miss the festival or want GI-certified Konkan Alphonso delivered to your door in Delhi, these are your two options from AlphonsoMango.in.
Both products are seasonal. Fresh Alphonso is available February to June (peak March to May). The 2027 mango season starts on 1 February 2027, and fresh mangoes are out of stock until then. No fresh Alphonso ships July to January — that is an honest constraint of the fruit, not a supply problem.
Ratnagiri vs Devgad Alphonso — Which Should Delhi Buyers Choose?
Delhi buyers consistently lean toward Ratnagiri, based on repeat-order data from our 47,000+ customers. Here is how the two compare side by side.
| Factor | Ratnagiri Alphonso | Devgad Alphonso |
|---|---|---|
| GI Tag | GI No. 139, AU/5974/GI/139/260 | GI No. 139, AU/6932 |
| Brix at full ripeness | 18–24° | 18–24° (typically upper end) |
| Season | February – June | February – June |
| Fruit weight (Medium grade) | 180–225 g | 180–225 g |
| Fruit weight (Jumbo grade) | 275–300 g | 275–300 g |
| Sourcing villages (sample) | Pawas, Golap, Nachane, Mirya, Kasheli | Devgad, Jamsande, Vijaydurg, Girye, Waghotan |
| Flavour profile | Bright, citrus-forward, floral saffron notes | Richer, creamier, slightly higher sugar |
| Delhi buyer preference | More popular (repeat-order data) | Strong among those who've tried both |
Delivery to Delhi
Fruit is dispatched from our Mumbai packhouse via BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on your pin code. Orders placed before 12 noon IST (Monday to Saturday) are dispatched the same day. Delivery takes 1 to 3 days for most PIN codes and 1 to 2 days to most metros, depending on your PIN code. Fresh mangoes are delivered by Blue Dart to more than 4,700 PIN codes.
Every mango ships at 70–80% ripeness — firm enough to survive the courier, ripening fully within about three days of delivery. The 5-ply corrugated fibreboard box uses a 12-slot partition that absorbs transit pressure, so the fruit itself carries none. Each mango sits in a foam-net sleeve that prevents lenticel bruising, vibration scars and moisture build-up.
If fruit arrives damaged, photograph it and raise a claim within 24 hours of delivery. We replace 100%.
What we do not do: we do not hold fruit in cold storage to extend availability beyond the natural season. When June ends, fresh Alphonso ends with it.
Mango Festival Delhi — What to Know
The mango festival Delhi has been running since 1987 — making it one of the oldest continuous mango exhibitions in India. DTTDC (Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation) organises it in partnership with APEDA and the National Horticultural Board, with NDMC support. It runs for two to three days, usually at the end of June or the beginning of July, at Talkatora Indoor Stadium near the President's Estate.
More than 500 mango varieties from across India are on display and for sale. You will find competition categories, cultural performances, mango-eating contests and cooking demonstrations alongside the produce stalls. Entry is generally open to the public and free or nominal in cost.
When is the mango festival Delhi held?
Late June to early July, for two to three days. The exact dates shift each year — check DTTDC's official announcements closer to the season.
Where is the mango festival Delhi 2023 and beyond held?
Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi — within walking distance of Connaught Place and easy by Metro.
Alphonso Mango at the Delhi Mango Festival
Alphonso — called Hapus in Maharashtra — is the centrepiece of the Delhi mango festival every year. It holds GI Tag No. 139 covering Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts. That GI number is the one credential worth checking: if a seller at the fair cannot show GI authorisation, the fruit may be a look-alike grown elsewhere.
Prashant Powle, founder of AlphonsoMango.in and GI Authorised User AU/5974/GI/139/260, was quoted in The Economic Times in June 2026 on the pressures facing Alphonso this season — weather volatility, early flowering, and yield uncertainty across Ratnagiri orchards. The point is that genuine Alphonso supply is genuinely limited each year. It is not a marketing device.
The Ratnagiri Alphonso won the Gold Medal at the national ODOP (One District One Product) Awards 2024 — a recognition of the district and the variety, earned on merit.
What is the Brix level of Alphonso at the Delhi mango festival?
A fully ripe Alphonso from Ratnagiri or Devgad reads 18–24° Brix, with Devgad fruit typically toward the upper end of that range. Fruit sold at the festival may be at varying stages of ripeness depending on harvest date and transit.
Mango Varieties at the Delhi Mango Fair
The festival is not only about Alphonso. Delhi buyers get rare access to varieties difficult to find in retail: Chaunsa, Dashehari, Langda, Himsagar, Malda, Mallika, Amrapali, Badami, and Kesar among them. Kesar holds its own GI Tag No. 185 covering Junagadh and Gir in Gujarat. AlphonsoMango.in sources Kesar from that region as well.
Some names at the festival are obscure even to mango professionals — Fazia, Gel Chia, Ruchika, Niamat Khera. These are regional cultivars rarely available outside their growing districts. The festival is genuinely the best single venue to taste them in Delhi.

How to Spot Genuine GI Alphonso in Delhi
Three things to check before you buy at the festival or anywhere else in Delhi:
First, ask for the GI Authorised User number. For Ratnagiri Alphonso it begins AU/…/GI/139/… and for Devgad it is AU/6932. If a seller cannot produce this, the variety may not be authenticated Konkan Alphonso.
Second, ask how the fruit was ripened. Natural hay-bed ripening (called Aadi in Konkan) produces a uniform golden skin with a faint floral smell. Carbide-ripened fruit often shows patchy colouring and a chalky aftertaste. Lab testing can confirm ripening method residues — we test weekly through the season at Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane (NABL accredited, TC-8284).
Third, check the weight. Genuine Alphonso in Medium grade runs 180–225 g per fruit. Undersized fruit sold as Alphonso is a common substitution in Delhi markets.
Natural Ripening — No Carbide, No Ethylene
Every fruit from AlphonsoMango.in is ripened on a hay bed (Aadi) in temperature-controlled rooms at the Mumbai packhouse. The 24–48 hours there are monitored natural ripening — no ethylene chambers, no calcium carbide, no artificial agents. This is not just a claim: the fruit is independently tested at Envirocare Labs (NABL, TC-8284), with a report dated 5 April 2025 (ref. 01/ETHAP2500044) confirming all 28 residue parameters within Codex maximum residue limits, with 27 of 28 below the limit of quantification.
We do not say "pesticide-free" — one residue (thiamethoxam at 0.013 mg/kg against a permitted limit of 0.2 mg/kg) was detected within safe limits. Honest reporting matters more than a reassuring label.
Before packing, every mango passes through AI/ML-assisted machine scanning that checks for internal spongy tissue and external deformities. Fruit that fails the scan does not ship. The grading table showed us early in our operations that visual inspection alone misses internal defects — the machine caught what eyes cannot.
Learn how to ripen Alphonso at home after delivery — the process is simple and takes two to three days at room temperature on a dry cloth.
