Postal department launches doorstep mango delivery service in Bengaluru

Mango season has officially begun, and this year, the Indian Postal Department has once again stepped into the fruit market with its popular doorstep delivery service. Launched on April 7 in Bengaluru, the initiative allows customers to order premium mango varieties online, which are then delivered directly by postmen.

In collaboration with the Karnataka State Mango Development and Marketing Corporation (KSMDMC), the Department of Posts facilitates the delivery of mangoes sourced directly from farmers in Ramanagara, Chikkaballapur, and Kolar districts. The service aims to eliminate middlemen, ensuring that consumers receive fresh, chemical-free mangoes while supporting local growers.

Each order consists of a 3.5 kg box of mangoes, with delivery charges fixed at ₹82, in addition to the cost of the selected variety. Customers can place orders through the official KSMDMC website — www.karsirimangoes.karnataka.gov.in — where they can view available mango types and prices listed by registered farmers.

Once an order is placed and paid for online, a confirmation message is sent via email and SMS. The information is then shared with the postal department and farmers, ensuring mangoes are dispatched promptly. Deliveries typically reach customers within two to three days.

Since the service began in 2019, over one lakh mango boxes have been dispatched from the Bengaluru GPO, generating ₹83 lakh in revenue for the postal department. The initiative continues to receive strong support from both farmers and mango lovers across the city.
