To buy mangoes from India, choose the variety first: Alphonso for a rich, non-fibrous pulp, Kesar for a Gujarat mango with orange flesh, or Pairi for a tangier Konkan fruit. We ship each by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery.
People who search for mangoes from India are usually trying to decide between three fruits that get mixed up all the time. This page puts them side by side and tells you what we sell, in plain words. We are AlphonsoMango.in, run by Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and we have sold mangoes since 2019 offline and since 2020 online. More than 47,000 customers, including offline and marketplace sales, have bought from us.
Which mango to buy: Alphonso, Kesar or Pairi
The three fruits differ in colour, texture and where they grow, so the right one depends on how you plan to eat it. Prices are "from" prices on the live store and the product page shows the current figure.
| Mango | Where it grows | What to expect | Price (from) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alphonso (Hapus) | Ratnagiri and Devgad, Konkan coast, Maharashtra | Rich, creamy, non-fibrous pulp; fruit usually 150 to 300 g | Rs 1,849 per dozen |
| Kesar | Gir region, Gujarat | Orange pulp and a strong aroma; a popular choice for aamras | Rs 999 per box |
| Pairi (Payari) | Konkan, Maharashtra | A different variety from Alphonso, usually described as tangier | From Rs 2,799 for 1 dozen |
If you want one fruit for eating slices and one for juice, aamras or milkshakes, you can order more than one variety. Our fresh mangoes collection lists them all.
Alphonso from Ratnagiri and Devgad
Alphonso is the variety named after Afonso de Albuquerque, and in Maharashtra it is called Hapus or Aam. The pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. We sell two origins, Ratnagiri Alphonso from Ratnagiri district and Devgad Alphonso from Devgad taluka in Sindhudurg district. Both are the same variety from the same Konkan belt, so choose by the size and grade you want and not by a rumour that one is better.
Our fruit is sourced across 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt, harvested at Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn hour, and hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net. Alphonso from this belt is GI-certified Alphonso in India (GI No. 139), and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). The details are on our Brand Facts page.
Alphonso is sold by the dozen, from Rs 1,849, and the largest Ratnagiri option goes up to Rs 5,399. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on the grade, so compare weight and grade, not just the headline price. The one-dozen Alphonso page shows the grades side by side.
Kesar from Gujarat
Kesar is grown in the Gir region of Gujarat. It is said to have been grown in 1931 by the Junagadh Wazir Sale Bhai, and to have been called Kesar since 1934, when the Nawab of Junagadh remarked on its orange pulp. The name means saffron. Our Kesar mango page lists boxes from Rs 999. For a longer look at this fruit, read our guide to buying Kesar mango.
Pairi, also spelt Payari
Pairi (Payari) is a separate variety and not a smaller Alphonso. Many people in Maharashtra look for it as the early fruit with a tangier edge, and it is often used fresh or in pickles. We list Pairi mango as 1 dozen, from Rs 2,799. Read the Pairi mango guide before you order, because the taste is different from Alphonso and not everyone wants it.
When each mango is available
The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Alphonso is harvested from about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. Outside the season we do not sell fresh Alphonso; the Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin is available all year, from Rs 590. Anyone who offers fresh Alphonso in the months after June should be asked which variety it is and where it was stored. Our mango season guide has the full calendar.
Delivery across India
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout, because the speed depends on your address and we do not promise a time for a named city. Alphonso takes about 15 days from harvest to full ripeness, so a box that arrives firm still has ripening to do. Keep it at room temperature, away from direct sun, and refrigerate only ripe fruit. Report any damage within 24 hours of delivery by writing to support@alphonsomango.in or calling 8369048029. Our mango delivery guide explains packing and transit in more detail.
Ripening and authenticity
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Selling fruit ripened with carbide gas is prohibited in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011, so you are entitled to ask any seller how the fruit was ripened. Colour alone cannot answer that question; our guide to carbide-ripened mangoes explains why. For Alphonso specifically, read how to identify Alphonso mango.
Sending mangoes abroad
We ship directly to the UAE. For other countries, such as the UK, Singapore, Malaysia or Saudi Arabia, shipments have been arranged through the customer's contact abroad, and that is not a standard service. We do not deliver to the USA or Canada as a service. Import rules differ by country and change, so check current rules with your importer or customs agent, and write to us before you order. Our NRI mango gift page explains how families abroad send fruit to relatives in India.
Bulk orders and gifting
We also supply restaurants and hotels, and we help with gifting. We have not published fixed terms for quantity or custom packing, so write to us with your quantity, cities and dates and we will answer. The gifting page and the corporate gifting guide are the starting points.
