Devgad mango is Alphonso, also called Devgad Hapus, grown in Devgad taluka of Sindhudurg district on the Konkan coast. It carries a GI tag, GI No. 139. We sell Devgad Alphonso from Rs 1,849 per dozen once the season opens on 1 February 2027.
What is Devgad mango?
Devgad mango is the Alphonso mango grown around Devgad, a taluka in Sindhudurg district on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. People also write it as Devgad Hapus, since Hapus is the Marathi name for Alphonso. The variety is the same one grown in Ratnagiri district, a short distance up the coast. What changes is the place on the label.
The Geographical Indications Registry lists Devgad Alphonso Mango as application 379, merged with application 139. That is the record behind the GI tag, GI No. 139, and it is why Alphonso from this belt can be sold under a protected name. We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). The details are on our Brand Facts page, and our guide to the Alphonso GI tag explains what it means for a buyer.
We are Powle Home Foods, based in Mumbai, and we run AlphonsoMango.in. This page explains what a Devgad mango is, how ours is harvested and ripened, what the price depends on, and what to ask any seller who sells Devgad fruit.
Devgad and Ratnagiri: same variety, two places
Devgad and Ratnagiri both sit in the Konkan Alphonso belt. Konkan is the stretch of the western coast between the Arabian Sea and the Deccan Plateau, and Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg are among its districts. Both places grow the same Alphonso, so we do not rank one above the other, and we do not compare them on harvest timing or sweetness. People have favourites, and that is a matter of taste.
The practical choice is the grade and the dozen size, not the name. If you want both on the table, order one from each. Our guide to Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus covers the places, and the Ratnagiri Alphonso page lists the Ratnagiri options.
How our Devgad Alphonso is harvested
We source across 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt. Harvest is done at Brahma Muhurta, before dawn, for all of our Alphonso. Our fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, so each fruit is cut and caught and not shaken down.
A ripe Alphonso usually weighs 150 to 300 g, and its pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. Named mango varieties such as Alphonso are propagated by grafting, which is why a Devgad orchard is planted tree by tree from grafts and not from seed.
Natural ripening on hay beds
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.
Wikipedia puts the time from harvest to ripening of Alphonso at about 15 days. A fruit that is fully yellow and soft within a day or two of harvest deserves a question to the seller. No single look or smell proves how a mango was ripened, and a bucket-of-water test is only a rough clue, not proof. Our guide on identifying carbide-ripened mangoes lists what to ask.
Devgad Hapus mango price: what to expect
Our Devgad Alphonso sells from Rs 1,849 per dozen, with one-dozen and two-dozen options. The price rises with the fruit size, because a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. Prices can change, so check the product page for today's price before you order.

Season and how to order
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, and the best supply is March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season, so the product page shows as unavailable until then. Alphonso pulp tins, from Rs 590, are available all year.
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout. If a box arrives damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery. Open the Devgad Alphonso Mango page to choose the grade, or browse the Devgad Alphonso collection.
What to ask when a seller says Devgad
- Which taluka or village? Devgad is a place, so a seller should be able to say where the fruit grew.
- Is there GI paperwork? Ask for the authorised user details, as we show ours.
- How was it ripened? Ask for a plain answer.
- What is the grade and count? A dozen can mean very different weights.
Our guide on identifying authentic Hapus goes through each question. We have served 47,000+ customers, including offline and marketplace sales, and we would rather you ask every question before you pay than discover an answer after the box arrives.
Using Devgad Alphonso at home
Keep the fruit at room temperature, out of direct sun, and let it soften at its own pace. Do not refrigerate firm mangoes. When the fruit is soft and fragrant near the stalk, eat it, or chill it for a short while. Ripe pulp can also be frozen in small portions for later, and many families set aside a few mangoes for aamras, milkshakes or kulfi. Our aamras recipe shows how, and our ripening guide covers the steps.
