Exclusive deals on mangoes online are best judged by what is in the box: grade, origin, ripening and delivery. We list Alphonso from Rs 1,849 per dozen and Kesar from Rs 999 for a half-dozen. Check the product page for the current price.

What counts as a deal on mangoes online
We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and we run AlphonsoMango.in. A cheap-looking box can hold small, mixed-size fruit, so the headline price tells you little. A deal is only a deal if you can compare like with like. So before you compare prices, compare these five things on any seller's page.
- Variety and place. "Alphonso" alone is vague. Ask for the district: Ratnagiri or Devgad on the Konkan coast.
- Size grade. Fruit weight per piece is the biggest driver of price. A dozen of 150 to 180 g fruit and a dozen of 275 to 300 g fruit are different products.
- Count and weight. A dozen is twelve fruits. A dozen of our Alphonso weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade.
- Ripening. Ask how it is done. We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds.
- Delivery. Perishable fruit needs a courier that tells you when to expect it, and an address where someone is at home.
Judge a mango deal on grade and origin first, and on the rupee figure second. A lower price per dozen is a bargain only when those two match.
Our prices, plainly
We do not hide the grade behind a headline price. Alphonso is listed by fruit size, and each size has its own price. The table shows the Ratnagiri Alphonso options.
| Fruit size (each) | 1 dozen | 2 dozen |
|---|---|---|
| 150 to 180 g | Rs 1,849 | Rs 3,499 |
| 180 to 225 g | Rs 2,099 | Rs 3,999 |
| 225 to 250 g | Rs 2,499 | Rs 4,699 |
| 250 to 275 g | Rs 2,699 | Rs 4,999 |
| 275 to 300 g | Rs 2,999 | Rs 5,399 |
Prices can change, so check the product page for the current price. The same grades are listed for Devgad Alphonso Mango from Rs 1,849 per dozen. For larger orders, the order-online page lists bigger boxes. We do not quote a per-kg rate, so compare by the dozen and the grade.
Other fruit from the same shop: Kesar mango from Gujarat, half-dozen Rs 999 and dozen Rs 1,699, and the Pairi mango dozen from Rs 2,799. Our Ratnagiri Hapus price guide explains what moves the price.
Alphonso and Kesar: which one to pick
Alphonso, called Hapus in Maharashtra, is a small, saffron-fleshed, non-fibrous mango with a strong scent. We source it across 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Alphonso from this belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139, and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). The harvest is about February to June, with the best supply from March to May.
Kesar is a different mango from Gujarat: juicy, sweet and a little tangy, and many people prefer it for juice, shakes and daily eating. Pick Alphonso for aroma and for gifting; pick Kesar when you want a lower entry price and more fruit to eat. We do not call Kesar GI-tagged and we do not rank one above the other.
- Aamras for a gathering: a two-dozen box of one grade, ripened together.
- Daily fruit for children: small-grade Alphonso or Kesar, so each mango is finished at one sitting.
- A gift: a larger Alphonso grade. See our gifting page.
For help telling the two apart on a plate, read our types of mangoes guide.
Season, timing and months without fresh fruit
The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season, so an order placed before it opens is for the opening of the season, not for stock on a shelf. If you see fresh Alphonso offered at a big discount outside the months of February to June, ask what it is and where it was kept.
The canned Alphonso pulp (850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590) is available all year and is the sensible buy for aamras, milkshakes and kulfi outside the season. We also list freeze-dried Alphonso cubes. Our Alphonso mango season guide has the month-by-month view.
Delivery and what to do when the box arrives
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout. We do not promise a delivery day for any named city, because the PIN code and the courier route decide it. Enter your PIN code before you pay and read the message the checkout shows.
- Give an address where a person will be present to receive a perishable box.
- Open the box on the day it arrives and lay the fruit in a single layer.
- Report any damage within 24 hours of delivery to support@alphonsomango.in or 8369048029.
- Let the fruit ripen at room temperature. Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so some fruit may arrive firm.
Never put firm mangoes in the fridge; cold stops ripening. A sweet smell at the stalk and a slight give at the shoulder mean ripe. No home test proves how a mango was ripened; the bucket-of-water test is a rough clue, not proof. 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, and we are an FSSAI-licensed seller.
Our hay-bed method is explained in the ripening guide, and buyers who want to check a seller can use our guide to identifying authentic Hapus.
A short checklist before you pay
- Is the district named (Ratnagiri or Devgad), not just "Alphonso"?
- Is the size grade or fruit weight written on the page?
- Does the seller say how the fruit is ripened, and is the carbide point answered?
- Is the seller FSSAI-licensed, and is the licence or GI document shown?
- Can you check delivery for your PIN code before payment?
- Is the price per dozen, with the grade, so that two sellers can be compared?
A seller who answers all six is worth a trial order. The full range is on the mango collection.
People also ask
Where can I find exclusive deals on mangoes online?
Compare sellers on grade, origin, ripening and delivery before price. We list Alphonso from Rs 1,849 per dozen and Kesar from Rs 999 for a half-dozen, each with its size grade on the product page. Check the product page for the current price, and ask any seller the same questions.
What is the best time to order mangoes online?
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027, and fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season. Outside those months the Alphonso pulp tin is available all year for aamras and shakes.
How do I know a mango deal is genuine?
Look for a named district, a size grade, a stated count and weight, and a clear answer on ripening. We state that we do not use carbide, and we hold a GI user certificate for Alphonso. A very low price with none of these details is a reason to ask questions first.
What should I do if my mangoes arrive firm?
Lay them in a single layer at room temperature, away from sun, and check daily. A sweet smell at the stalk and a slight give at the shoulder mean ripe. Do not chill firm fruit. Alphonso takes about 15 days from harvest to ripen, so some firm fruit is normal.
