Devgad mangoes: what they are and where they grow
Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district, on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra, south of Ratnagiri. A Devgad mango is an Alphonso (Hapus) grown there. It is the same variety as the Ratnagiri fruit, not a separate mango, and Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt is covered by GI No. 139. Buyers search for the Devgad name by habit, and we list it for that reason.
We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, the business behind AlphonsoMango.in. We source Alphonso across 55 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt, and we list a Devgad product for people who want to order by that name. Devgad Alphonso Mango is sold by the dozen from Rs 1,849, with larger fruit grades costing more. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. Check the product page for today's price. Orders for the season are placed on the website like any other Indian address, and there is no shop or agent in your city.
Devgad or Ratnagiri: which one to order
This is the question we are asked most. Our honest answer is that both are Alphonso, and we do not rank one above the other or claim a difference in ripening time, sweetness or harvest date. We list both because customers search for each name.
| Point | Devgad Alphonso | Ratnagiri Alphonso |
|---|---|---|
| Place | Devgad taluka, Sindhudurg district | Ratnagiri district |
| Variety | Alphonso (Hapus) | Alphonso (Hapus) |

If you have a favourite, order it. If you do not, either is a reasonable choice, and our Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus guide explains the two names in full. You can also open the Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango page.
What makes a Devgad mango genuine
Because "Devgad" sells, the name gets used loosely across the market. We do not accuse anyone, but a buyer is right to ask a seller for specifics. Ask where the fruit was grown, how it was ripened, and whether the seller holds a GI Authorised User certificate. We hold the GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139), and the details are on our Brand Facts page.
Some clues help at the point of delivery, though none is proof:
- Fruit that is small to medium, generally 150 to 300 g, with the typical Alphonso shape.
- A sweet, fruity smell at the stalk that builds as the fruit ripens.
- Saffron-orange, rich, non-fibrous flesh when cut.
- Skin that may carry green, gold and a blush at once. Colour alone does not tell you how a fruit was ripened.
- A fruit that feels heavy for its size, with no soft dark patches near the stalk.
The bucket-of-water test is a rough clue, not proof, and no home test proves a mango is Devgad. Our guide to identifying Alphonso mango lists the clues with their limits.
The Alphonso variety behind the Devgad name
The Konkan is a stretch of the western coast of India between the Arabian Sea and the Deccan Plateau, and Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg are among its districts. Alphonso takes its name from Afonso de Albuquerque, and mango grafting was introduced in Portuguese Goa by Jesuit missionaries. Indian-group mangoes are monoembryonic, so a named variety such as Alphonso is propagated by grafting. That is why a Devgad tree and a Ratnagiri tree are grafts of the same variety, and why the two names describe one fruit grown in two places.
Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g, with rich, non-fibrous flesh. For more on where else the variety is grown, read where Alphonso mangoes are grown.
How we ripen Devgad mangoes
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011; ethylene up to 100 ppm is the permitted alternative. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller.
The fruit is hand-harvested at Brahma Muhurta with a zela pole fitted with a catching net. Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so a box often arrives with firm and ripe fruit together. That mix is a sign of natural ripening, not a defect. Read our Alphonso ripening guide for the stages in detail.
Storing and ripening Devgad mangoes at home
- Open the box on the day it arrives and lay the fruit in a single layer, away from direct sun.
- Keep firm fruit at room temperature. Do not refrigerate it, because cold stops ripening and dulls the aroma.
- Check daily. A slight give at the shoulder and a sweet smell at the stalk mean ripe.
- Chill ripe fruit for an hour before cutting, or refrigerate it for a day or two if you cannot finish it.
- If a whole box ripens at once, blend the pulp and freeze it in small portions.
Report any damage within 24 hours of delivery to support@alphonsomango.in or 8369048029. For storing cut fruit and pulp, see mango freezer storage guide.
