Buy Alphonso Mango Online — Mumbai
Two GI-certified varieties ship directly to Mumbai. Both are harvested by hand before sunrise — we call this the Brahma muhurta window, starting at 3:20 am — then graded at our packing centres and dispatched same day or next day via BlueDart air freight.
Ratnagiri vs Devgad: Which Should You Order?
Mumbai buyers ask this every season. The honest answer: both carry GI tag No. 139 certification, both ship on the same BlueDart network, and both ripen in natural hay beds. The differences below are real, not marketing copy.
| Feature | Ratnagiri Alphonso | Devgad Alphonso |
|---|---|---|
| District | Ratnagiri | Sindhudurg (Devgad) |
| Brix (sugar) at peak | 18 to 24° | 23–25° |
| Skin colour | Bright saffron-yellow | Deep amber-gold |
| Fruit size | Medium-large | Medium (slightly smaller) |
| Season window | Mid-March to May | Late March to June |
| Price range | ₹1,849 – ₹5,399 | ₹1,849 – ₹5,499 |
| GI certification | GI No. 139 | GI No. 139 |
| Export markets | US, UAE, Japan | UK, Singapore, UAE |
| Box (1 peti) | 12 mangoes | 12 mangoes |
One peti in Mumbai means 12 fruits. That's the standard the city has always known, and we keep to it.
Delivery to Mumbai
We dispatch via BlueDart air freight. Transit to most Mumbai pin codes is 1–3 days. Fruit arrives in a ventilated corrugated box with a hay-bed lining — the same ripening medium used on the farm, which lets the mango finish naturally during transit without any ethylene gas or carbide treatment.
If your fruit arrives firm, leave it at room temperature for 24–36 hours. Do not refrigerate unripe mangoes. Once the skin yields slightly to thumb pressure and the saffron colour deepens, it is ready. We do not ship between July and February — the orchards are resting and we will not sell you fruit that isn't ours.
What is the delivery cost for Alphonso mango in Mumbai?
Delivery charges vary by box size and are shown at checkout. There is no hidden packing fee. BlueDart air dispatch keeps transit cold and short — typically under 30 hours farm to your door.
Can I track my mango order to Mumbai?
Yes. BlueDart provides a consignment number by email or WhatsApp once we dispatch. Most Mumbai addresses receive their order within 24–48 hours of dispatch during peak season.
How to Order
- Step 1 — Select your variety and grade. Choose Ratnagiri (₹1,849–₹5,399) or Devgad (₹1,849–₹5,499) based on the comparison table above. Higher grades carry larger fruit and tighter grading.
- Step 2 — Add to cart and enter your Mumbai address. The checkout shows the exact delivery window for your pin code before you pay.
- Step 3 — We dispatch via BlueDart. Your order leaves our Ratnagiri or Mumbai packing centre and reaches most Mumbai addresses within 1–3 days. You receive a tracking number by message.
Where These Mangoes Come From
Ratnagiri and Devgad sit along the Konkan coast, roughly 350 km south of Mumbai. The laterite soil, sea winds off the Arabian Sea, and the particular microclimate of villages like Rajapur, Lanja and Devgad taluka produce a sugar-acid balance that flat-land orchards cannot replicate. Prashant Powle sources from 48 villages across these two districts — not one consolidated estate, but individual small farms whose owners have worked the same trees for decades.
The mangoes travel by refrigerated vehicle from farm to our grading centres, then by BlueDart air to Mumbai. The chain from harvest to your door is under 48 hours on most days during the season.
Why Mumbai loves Hapus above all other mangoes
Mumbai is Maharashtra's largest city, and Konkan is Maharashtra's mango heartland — so the affinity is geographic as much as cultural. Vada pav and Alphonso share the same street-level loyalty here. The difference is that a good Hapus is available for only 90–100 days a year. That scarcity, combined with the fruit's saffron colour and fibre-free pulp, makes it the one mango Mumbai treats as an event rather than a commodity.
The city also knows the difference between carbide-ripened fruit from the wholesale markets and naturally ripened Hapus. Once you eat one that has come off a hay bed, the comparison is not flattering to the former.
GI Tag and Authenticity
India's Geographical Indication registry (GI No. 139) protects Alphonso mango from Ratnagiri and Devgad. Our GI Authorised User certificate is AU/5974/GI/139/260, issued 16 October 2019, registry certificate number 4163. This means every box we sell is traceable to an authorised source — not a re-labelled fruit from another region.
When you buy Alphonso mango in Mumbai's wholesale markets, you often get fruit labelled "Hapus" from Valsad, Surat or even Andhra Pradesh. The GI tag on our boxes is not decoration. It is the only legal instrument that guarantees Konkan origin.
For more on what the GI tag means in practice, read our guide: GI tag certified Alphonso mango — what the certificate actually proves.
Ripening and Natural Farming
Our orchards use cow dung, goat manure, calcium shell powder, panchagavya and gomutra — no synthetic fertiliser. The manure is applied by digging a circular cavity around each tree before the monsoon, so the slow biological decomposition feeds the roots across the growing season. We verified this approach works not because it is traditional, but because the Brix readings on carbide-free fruit come out 2–3 points higher than comparable orchards using chemical ripening agents.
After harvest, mangoes go into hay beds — the same loose dry grass the Konkan coast has always used. Hay insulates the fruit, maintains even temperature, and allows ethylene to build naturally. The result is a uniform ripening front across the whole box, which does not happen with carbide or exogenous ethylene injection.
We do not use carbide. That is not a marketing claim — it is a requirement of our FSSAI licence (10020022011783) and our APEDA export registration (225579), both of which are checked at the point of export clearance.
Nutrition and Health
One Alphonso mango (approximately 200g of pulp) provides Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium and dietary fibre. The pulp contains zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment that filters high-energy blue light — relevant if you spend long hours on screens in Mumbai's offices. The fibre content is low compared to other mango varieties, which is why the pulp feels smooth rather than stringy and why Aamras made from Alphonso needs no straining.

Season and Storage
When is Alphonso mango season in Mumbai?
The season starts mid-March for Ratnagiri fruit and extends through June for late-season Devgad. By early July, the orchards are done. We stop taking orders when the fruit stops meeting our grading standard — typically the last week of June. Between July and February, we do not sell fresh Alphonso mangoes.
How do you store Alphonso mango at home in Mumbai?
Keep unripe fruit at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Once ripe, move to the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days. Cut pulp keeps for 24 hours in an airtight container in the fridge. Do not freeze whole mangoes — the cell structure collapses and the texture becomes watery.
What does 1 peti of Alphonso mango mean in Mumbai?
One peti is one box of 12 mangoes. That is the Mumbai market standard. Our boxes are sized to this convention — 12 fruits per box, graded to consistent weight within each grade band.

Which city is famous for Alphonso Mango in India?
Ratnagiri and Devgad in Maharashtra's Konkan coast are the cities most famous for Alphonso mango in India. Both hold GI No. 139 protection under India's Geographical Indication registry. Mumbai, roughly 350 km north, is the largest market for this fruit and has treated Hapus as a seasonal event for generations.
The Konkan microclimate — laterite soil, Arabian Sea winds — produces a sugar-acid balance that orchards elsewhere cannot replicate.
Which mango is famous in Mumbai?
Alphonso mango, locally called Hapus, is the mango Mumbai is most associated with. It arrives from Ratnagiri and Devgad orchards each March, and the city follows its season the way other cities follow cricket. Fibre-free pulp, saffron-gold skin, and Brix readings of 18 to 24 degrees at peak ripeness set it apart from any other variety.
Mumbai buyers have grown sharp about the difference between carbide-ripened market fruit and naturally hay-bed-ripened Hapus — once you taste the latter, the comparison ends quickly.
