Kesar Mango Price in Surat: Listed Boxes

By Powle Home Foods  •  0 comments  •   7 minute read

Fresh, premium Kesar mangoes in a basket at a Surat market, highlighting the vibrant orange-yellow skin characteristic of the Gir Kesar variety.

Kesar mango price in Surat is the same as anywhere we deliver, because we do not price by city: Gir Kesar is Rs 999 for a half-dozen box and Rs 1,699 for a dozen. Fresh Kesar is sold only in season.

Kesar mango price in Surat: the box prices

We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and we run AlphonsoMango.in. Kesar is sold here by the box, not by weight. A half-dozen box is Rs 999 and a dozen box is Rs 1,699. Those two figures are the same for a Surat address as for any other city, because the store does not price by city. Shipping is shown at checkout once you enter your PIN code. Check the Kesar Mango product page for today's price, because prices can change.

Why does a box price look different from a market price? A market quote is usually for loose fruit by weight, with no packing, no courier and no promise about how the fruit was ripened. A box price covers fruit that has been sorted, packed to travel and sent to your door, so the sensible comparison is the total you pay at your doorstep against the total you would pay, including your own trip to the market, for the same count of fruit of the same ripeness.

We have not converted these to per-kg figures. The weight of a box depends on the size of the fruit that season, so the honest way to compare is to count pieces and weigh what arrives. If you are comparing with a Surat market price, make sure it is for the same variety, the same count and the same ripeness, and ask whether packing and delivery are included.

What Surat buyers should know before ordering

Surat and Gujarat know Kesar well, and many buyers here already have a favourite way of buying it: by the crate from a trusted trader, by the kilo from the market, or ready-made as ras. Our offer is narrower. We send Gir Kesar by courier in boxes, so it suits a family that wants a fixed number of pieces at the door, a gift for a relative in another city, or an office order where you do not want to organise a crate.

  • No Surat shop. There is no counter or collection point in Surat. You order on the website and the box arrives by Blue Dart.
  • Keri. "Keri" is the Gujarati word for mango, so a search for "Kesar keri" is a search for Kesar mango. The same fruit, the same page.
  • Ras. Ripe Kesar pulp makes a golden ras in minutes. We sell fruit and pulp tins, not ready-made ras.
  • Count, not kilos. A half-dozen is six pieces and a dozen is twelve. Fruit size varies a little from box to box.

Kesar or Alphonso: which one to order

These are two different mangoes, sold in two different ways, so decide on taste and use before you decide on price.

Many Surat families order both: Kesar for daily ras and Alphonso for the first box of the season or for a gift. Alphonso is the fruit we are best known for, and we source it across 55 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. A dozen Alphonso weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. See our Devgad Alphonso Mango page as well.

Delivery to Surat, season and damage reports

We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Orders received before 1 PM are dispatched the same day. Check your PIN code at checkout. We do not promise a delivery day for Surat or any named city, because it depends on the PIN code and the courier route. Enter your Surat PIN code before you pay and read the message the checkout shows. A perishable box needs someone at the address, so give a place where a person will be present on a working day.

Open the box on the day it arrives. If anything is damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery by writing to support@alphonsomango.in or calling 8369048029. Our shipping charges guide explains how shipping is worked out.

Fresh mangoes are seasonal, so the Kesar listing shows as unavailable until the new season is stocked. Our 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027, and Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. Between seasons, the Alphonso mango pulp tin (850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590) is available all year.

How we ripen, and how to finish Kesar at home

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. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller. No home test proves how a mango was ripened; the bucket-of-water test is a rough clue, not proof. Ask any seller directly.

  • Keep the mangoes at room temperature in a single layer, away from direct sun.
  • A sweet smell near the stalk and a slight give at the shoulder mean ripe.
  • Do not refrigerate firm fruit. Once soft, eat it that day or chill it briefly.
  • For ras, scoop the pulp and blend with a little milk or nothing at all. Ripe Kesar needs no sugar.
  • For a quick shake, blend the pulp of one ripe mango with cold milk and a few ice cubes. Serve it straight away.
  • Keep cut fruit in a closed container in the fridge for a day or two.

On nutrition, 100 g of raw mango provides about 36 mg of vitamin C, roughly 40% of the Daily Value, along with natural sugars. If you are managing a health condition, ask your doctor how much suits you. Our mango nutrition facts page lists the figures.
