Both products below ship from our Mumbai packhouse. 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. Fruit arrives at 70–80% ripeness and is fully ripe within about three days of delivery — which is exactly how it should arrive.

Ratnagiri vs Devgad: Which Should You Order?

Both carry GI No. 139 — the same Geographical Indication. The difference is terroir, not certification.

Our repeat-order data from 47,000+ customers shows Mumbai buyers lean Devgad. North India leans Ratnagiri. Neither is wrong — they are just different trees on different soil, 80 km apart along the same coastline.

Delivery to Mumbai

From harvest at an orchard in Devgad or Ratnagiri to your door in Mumbai, the chain runs like this: about 2 hours from tree to our packhouse, post-harvest cooling, 10–12 hours by air-conditioned vehicle to our Mumbai packhouse, 24–48 hours of natural hay-bed ripening there, then dispatch. Total harvest-to-dispatch time: 48–72 hours.

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.

Fruit is dispatched at 70–80% ripeness. It arrives firm, golden, and ready to ripen on your kitchen counter in about three days. Do not refrigerate immediately — let it ripen fully first.

If any fruit arrives transit-damaged or quality-failed, photograph or video the fruit and packaging and send it on WhatsApp within 24 hours of delivery. We send a fresh replacement or credit your account for the next order. No physical return is required.

What the packaging does

Each mango travels in a foam-net sleeve (flat width 50–55 mm, length 100–120 mm by fruit size) on a hay/straw bed inside a 5-ply corrugated fibreboard box — 130 gsm paper, alternate flute orientation, reinforced corners. The 12-slot partition takes the transit pressure so the fruit does not. Six air holes top and bottom keep airflow moving during ripening. The foam net prevents the one thing that ruins an Alphonso fastest: lenticels blacken the moment skin rubs against skin during vibration.

Where the Fruit Comes From

Prashant Powle, who founded AlphonsoMango.in in 2017, selects orchards personally across 48 coastal villages of Ratnagiri and Devgad. On the Ratnagiri side: Pawas, Golap, Nachane, Mavalange, Waravade, Purnagad, Gaonkhadi, Ambeshet, Mirya, Kalbadevi, Majgaon and others. On the Devgad side: Devgad, Jamsande, Vijaydurg, Dahibav, Hindale, Kunkeshwar, Mithbav, Vijaydurg and more than a dozen others across Sindhudurg.

The 100+ partner farmer families we work with run orchards that are typically 12–25 years old. We select them on three criteria: Brix consistency across the season, tree longevity, and how they handle alternate-bearing years. Every orchard follows cultivation SOPs covering which natural sprays and fertilisers are used from flowering to harvest. We do not buy from intermediaries who cannot tell us which village a box came from.

Ratnagiri Alphonso won the Gold Medal at the national One District One Product (ODOP) Awards 2024 — a district-product recognition, not a brand award. But it signals what the farming community there has maintained for generations.

How We Ripen the Mangoes

No ethylene chambers. No calcium carbide. No artificial ripening agents of any kind.

The 24–48 hours our fruit spends at the Mumbai packhouse is natural hay-bed ripening — what farmers in Konkan call Aadi ripening. The hay is not decorative. It regulates moisture and temperature around each fruit as it breathes. We monitor the rooms; the hay does the work.

This matters for Mumbai buyers because most market Hapus — including fruit sold at Crawford Market, Vashi APMC and suburban fruit stalls — arrives calcium-carbide ripened. Carbide gives uniform yellow skin fast, but it cannot replicate the internal sugar development that happens when a mango ripens from within. You can spot the difference: carbide-ripened fruit has a thin strip of unripe green at the stem end and flat flavour near the seed. Natural hay-ripened Alphonso is golden-orange, aromatic to 30 cm away, and sweet to the seed.

Our fruit is independently tested by Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane (NABL accredited, certificate TC-8284). The April 2025 test (certificate 01/ETHAP2500044, issued 5 April 2025) checked 28 pesticide residues. All 28 were within Codex maximum residue limits; 27 of 28 were below the limit of quantification (0.01 mg/kg). One residue — thiamethoxam at 0.013 mg/kg — was detected within the permitted limit of 0.2 mg/kg. We say independently tested, all residues within Codex limits. We do not say pesticide-free, because that one detection exists and we will not hide it.

What Drives the Alphonso Mango Price in Mumbai

Four things move the price, in order of impact:

1. Grade (size). Small (150–180 g) costs least; Jumbo (275–300 g) costs most. The weight difference is real — a Jumbo box of one dozen contains roughly 1.6× the fruit mass of a Small box. Extra Large (250–275 g) is the grade most corporate gift buyers choose.

2. Season timing. Early-season fruit (February–March) is scarce — trees are just starting, and yields are low. Mid-season (April–May) is peak supply, so prices soften slightly and fruit quality is at its highest. Late-season (June) sees declining yield and rising prices again as trees rest before the next flowering cycle. The 2026 season was one of the hardest in years: Prashant Powle spoke to the Economic Times in June 2026 about the existential weather and yield pressures facing Alphonso growers.

3. Origin certification. GI-tagged fruit from Ratnagiri or Devgad carries a traceable chain from orchard to box. Non-GI "Alphonso" sold at markets may be Totapuri, Kesar or unnamed cultivars — similar colour, different sugar profile. The GI certificate (Registry No. 4163, issued 16 October 2019) on every box we dispatch is verifiable.

4. Supply chain. Air-conditioned transport from Konkan to Mumbai, AI/ML-assisted machine scanning for spongy tissue and external deformities, individual foam-net sleeves, 5-ply CFB boxes — none of this is cheap. Market fruit travels unprotected in paddy-straw crates that compress the bottom layer.

Is the market cheaper?

Yes, often. Crawford Market or Vashi APMC will show you fruit at ₹600–₹1,200 per dozen during peak season. But you cannot verify the ripening method, the origin village, or whether the bottom layer of that crate matches the top. We have seen customers come to us after three bad market experiences in a row. The math changes when you factor in wastage.

How to Order

1. Select your grade. Choose Ratnagiri (₹1,849 to ₹5,399) or Devgad Alphonso (₹1,849 to ₹5,499) on the product page. Select Small, Medium, Extra Large or Jumbo grade; half dozen, 1 dozen or 2 dozen box.
2. Add to cart and check out. Enter your Mumbai pin code — the system assigns BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees automatically based on your location and confirms delivery availability.
3. We dispatch. Your order ships within 48–72 hours of harvest from our Ratnagiri or Devgad packhouse to Mumbai. 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.

Nutrition — What You Actually Get

Ripe Alphonso pulp contains roughly 30–36 mg of vitamin C per 100 g. A 100 g serving meets about 40–45% of the ICMR-NIN 2020 recommended daily allowance for adult men (80 mg/day) and about 50% for adult women (65 mg/day). These are the 2020 ICMR figures — the older 40 mg/day figure from 2010 is superseded.

Alphonso also contains mangiferin, a polyphenol studied for anti-inflammatory activity in cell models (Govindappa et al., 2011). That is a cell study, not a clinical trial — we note it as background, not as a health claim.

For babies from about 6 months, ripe Alphonso puree works as a first fruit. Smooth texture, low fibre load, high natural sweetness. Keep it as a serving suggestion; if you have questions about infant feeding, your paediatrician decides.

Season and Availability

Alphonso season runs February to June (the 2027 season starts on 1 February 2027). Peak quality and peak supply overlap in April and May. Outside this window — July through January — we do not sell fresh Alphonso. Not because we choose not to, but because there is no fresh Alphonso to sell. Anyone offering fresh Hapus in September is selling something else.

We ship exports — the same GI-tagged fruit — to the US, UK, UAE, Singapore and Japan during season. The packaging survives international transit; Mumbai delivery is easier.

The 2027 mango season starts on 1 February 2027, and fresh mangoes are out of stock until then.

People Also Ask

How much is 1 kg of Alphonso mango?

GI-certified Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso is sold by the box rather than by the kilogram; see the current price on the product page. A half-dozen box weighs about 900 g–1.2 kg depending on grade, and boxes start at ₹1,849 from AlphonsoMango.in.

Prices vary by grade — Jumbo fruit at 275–300 g per mango costs more per kilogram than Small grade at 150–180 g.

How much do Alphonso mangoes cost?

Alphonso mangoes sold online from GI-certified farms in Ratnagiri and Devgad range from ₹1,849 to ₹5,499 per box (half dozen to two dozen), through the February-to-June season. At Crawford Market or Vashi APMC, loose fruit prices shift weekly with yield — and most of that fruit is carbide-ripened, not hay-ripened.

Devgad Alphonso typically sits at the upper end of the price range because of its higher Brix ceiling and the extra handling involved in Sindhudurg sourcing.

What is the price of 1 kg of mango in India?

Alphonso mango from GI-certified farms in Ratnagiri or Devgad is sold by the box rather than by the kilogram; see the current price on the product page. Other varieties like Kesar, Dasheri and Langra run lower — often ₹80–₹200 per kilogram at local markets — because they lack the same GI status, scarcity, and post-harvest logistics.

Prices across all varieties peak early in the season when supply is thin and ease by May as harvests widen.

Which mango is very expensive in India?

Alphonso — specifically Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso carrying GI No. 139 — is consistently the most expensive commercially grown mango in India. Scarcity drives the price: the fruit grows only in a narrow coastal belt in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg, bears on an alternate-year cycle, and cannot survive the rough handling that cheaper varieties tolerate.

Ratnagiri Alphonso won the Gold Medal at the national ODOP Awards 2024, which reflects what the farming community there has maintained across generations.

Prashant Powle was interviewed by the Economic Times in June 2026 on weather impacts on the Alphonso crop (read the article).
