Ratnagiri Hapus: the Alphonso mango explained
Alphonso, called Hapus in Marathi, is a mango variety grown mainly on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. The name is usually traced to Afonso de Albuquerque, the Portuguese commander, and the grafting methods the Portuguese brought to western India. The fruit is small to medium, with thin skin, saffron-coloured pulp, almost no fibre and a strong scent. Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139.
Ratnagiri is a district on the Konkan coast. Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district, further south along the same coast. Both grow the same variety; we do not rank one above the other and we do not claim that one ripens earlier or is sweeter. We source across 55 villages of this belt. Our Ratnagiri GI certificate is AU/5974/GI/139/260 and our Devgad certificate is AU/6932. All our Alphonso is harvested at Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn hours. We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds.

Kesar and Pairi: the other mangoes you can buy online
Kesar comes from Gujarat, around Junagadh and the Gir region. The Nawab of Junagadh, Mahabat Khan III, named it Kesar around 1934 on seeing its orange pulp (Wikipedia, Zee News); kesar means saffron. It is juicy, sweet with a little tang, and many families prefer it for juice, shakes and everyday eating because the entry price is lower. We sell it as a half-dozen for Rs 999 and a dozen for Rs 1,699. We do not describe Kesar as GI-tagged.
Pairi is a Konkan mango from Maharashtra. It is tangier than Alphonso and is often blended with it in aamras to balance the sweetness. We list it by the dozen from Rs 2,799. Neither Kesar nor Pairi is a grade of Alphonso; they are separate varieties with their own flavour. Our types of mangoes guide puts the three side by side.
Season calendar for buying mangoes online in India
| Product | Availability | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso | About February to June; best supply March to May | 2027 season opens 1 February 2027 |
| Kesar | Listed while its supply lasts | Check the product page |
| Pairi | Listed while its supply lasts | Check the product page |
| Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin | All year | 850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590 |
Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season. If a listing shows fresh Alphonso at a bargain price in, say, October, ask what it is and where it was kept. The honest off-season buy is the pulp tin, which works for aamras, shakes and kulfi; our aamras recipe uses either fresh fruit or pulp. The season guide has the month-by-month detail.
Prices by the dozen, and how to compare sellers
Mangoes are sold by the dozen, and the fruit size sets most of the price. A dozen of our Alphonso weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade, so we do not quote a per-kg rate; a per-kg figure hides the size of the fruit. Alphonso starts from Rs 1,849 per dozen for the 150 to 180 g size and rises with size; the largest Ratnagiri option is Rs 5,399 for two dozen, and the order-online page lists boxes up to five dozen. Check the product page for the current price.
- Compare the fruit size, not the headline price. A cheap dozen of small fruit is not the same product as a dozen of 275 g fruit.
- Compare the origin. For Alphonso, the district should be named.
- Compare the ripening method. 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. Ask any seller how the fruit is ripened.
- Compare the delivery check. A seller should let you confirm your PIN code before payment.
Our Ratnagiri Hapus price guide explains why the price moves within a season.
Delivery across India and what to do on arrival
Orders received before 1 PM are dispatched the same day. 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; the PIN code and the courier route decide it. Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so some fruit may arrive firm. Open the box the day it arrives, lay the fruit in a single layer at room temperature, and report any damage within 24 hours of delivery to support@alphonsomango.in or 8369048029. Do not refrigerate firm fruit; cold stops ripening. No home test proves how a mango was ripened; the bucket-of-water test is a rough clue, not proof.
We also supply restaurants and hotels; write to us with quantities and dates. For corporate gifting orders, shipping is extra. See our delivery guide and the ripening guide for the rest.

How much is 1 kg of mango in India?
We do not price by the kilo. Alphonso is sold by the dozen, from Rs 1,849, and a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on the fruit size. To compare with a per-kg quote elsewhere, look at the size and the weight of the dozen on the product page and compare like with like.
Which mango is best, Hapus or Kesar?
They are different fruits. Hapus (Alphonso) from Ratnagiri and Devgad has saffron, fibre-free pulp and a strong scent, and suits eating whole and gifting. Kesar from Gujarat is juicier and a little tangy, with a lower entry price, and suits juice and shakes. We sell both and do not rank one above the other.
What is the best time to buy mangoes in India?
For Alphonso, March to May gives the best supply within a harvest that runs from about February to June. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Kesar and Pairi are listed while their supply lasts. Outside the season, the Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin is available all year from Rs 590.
Are Alphonso and Hapus the same mango?
Yes. Hapus is the Marathi name and Alphonso the English name for the same variety, grown mainly on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt carries India's GI No. 139. Gujarati and Hindi speakers often say Hafus or Afus for the same fruit.
