GI premium rates

How much more a GI tagged variety fetched than the ordinary variety of the same crop, in the same market, on the same day.

This is a computed indicator, not a rate. No authority anywhere in India fixes a GI premium. Every figure below is worked out from mandi prices already on this site, and it changes as those prices change.

Nothing clears the bar today. A premium is published only when the tagged variety and an ordinary variety of the same crop were both priced in the same market on at least 5 separate days. Until that happens the honest answer is no figure.

Not enough data yet

These are being watched. Each one needs both varieties priced in the same market on the same day, at least 5 times inside 90 days.

  • Alphonso Mango, Maharashtra
  • Nagpur Orange, Maharashtra
  • Basmati Rice, Punjab
  • Guntur Sannam Chilli, Andhra Pradesh
  • Byadgi Chilli, Karnataka
  • Bhagalpuri Zardalu Mango, Bihar

How this is worked out

  • Same market and same day, always. Comparing 2 markets measures the distance between them, not the tag.
  • Only rows priced per quintal are used, so a per kilogram row cannot multiply the gap by 100.
  • The middle price is used, never the average, so one festival lot cannot set the premium.
  • Fewer than 5 matched market days means nothing is published for that crop.
  • The window is the last 90 days. Today it rests on 2,726 mandi rows.

The official register of Geographical Indications is held by the GI Registry in Chennai. See the official list, or read the GI tag directory for what is registered and where.
