What Makes Noorjahan Mango (नूरजहाँ आम) Exceptional
Named after Mughal empress Noor Jahan, this variety has been cultivated in Alirajpur’s Kathiwara region for well over a century. The fruits are fibre-free with deep golden-yellow flesh that is intensely sweet and low in acidity — a flavour profile that earns ₹500–₹1,500 per fruit at premium retail and urban specialty markets.
What gives Noorjahan its commercial edge is timing: it ripens in July–August, well after the main mango season ends. When Alphonso, Dashehari, and Langra are gone from the market, Noorjahan arrives. This post-season positioning allows farmers to command prices that are impossible to achieve with standard varieties. At Madhyanchal Nursery, we supply veneer-grafted Noorjahan plants on proven local rootstock — disease-free and true to type from our NHB 2-Star certified facility.

Noorjahan Mango Farming — Climate, Soil & Planting Guide
Noorjahan is well suited to the climate of Madhya Pradesh. It thrives at temperatures of 25–40°C during the growing season and tolerates the dry summers characteristic of central India. For farmers in Alirajpur, Dhar, Barwani, Khargone, and Ujjain districts, the local conditions closely match the variety’s natural habitat.
Soil requirements: Deep loamy soil with good drainage is ideal. Avoid waterlogged ground — mango roots are sensitive to standing water. A soil pH of 6.0–7.5 gives the best results. Rocky or shallow soils reduce root development and limit fruit size.
Best planting time: Plant in June–July, at the onset of the monsoon. This allows roots to establish before the next summer heat. Avoid planting in March–May when soil temperatures are at peak.
Spacing: Noorjahan is a large, vigorous tree with a wide spreading canopy. Standard commercial spacing is 10×10 metres. High-density planting at 8×8 metres is possible but requires pruning management to prevent crowding as the orchard matures.
Plants Per Acre & Spacing Guide
| Spacing (Row × Plant) | Plants per Acre | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 10m × 10m | 40–42 plants | Standard; best canopy + fruit quality |
| 8m × 8m | 60–65 plants | Higher density; prune after year 7 |
| 9m × 9m | 50–52 plants | Good balance of density and airflow |
Given the large fruit size, mature Noorjahan trees need strong staking for major scaffold branches during the bearing season. This is especially important from the 5th year onward when individual fruits reach full weight.
Noorjahan Mango — Cost Per Acre & Commercial Returns 2026
| Item | Approximate Cost / Return |
|---|---|
| Grafted plant cost (500 plants @ 10×10 m = ~12 acres) | ₹400–₹600 per plant |
| Land preparation per acre | ₹8,000–₹12,000 |
| Irrigation setup (drip) | ₹25,000–₹40,000 per acre |
| Annual maintenance (fertiliser, labour) | ₹15,000–₹25,000 per acre |
| First fruit (Year 3–4): partial yield | 10–20 fruits per tree |
| Full production (Year 6–7): avg. 50 fruits per tree at 40 trees/acre | 2,000 fruits per acre |
| Farm-gate price per fruit (3 kg avg @ ₹300/kg) | ₹900 per fruit |
| Gross revenue at full production (2,000 fruits × ₹900) | ~₹18 lakh per acre |
| Net profit after costs (Year 7+) | ₹12–₹15 lakh per acre/year |
These projections are based on conservative farm-gate pricing. Noorjahan supplied to premium urban markets, agri-tourism setups, or direct-to-consumer channels often achieves ₹500–₹1,500 per fruit, substantially improving the return. The post-season harvest window (July–August) is the critical advantage — plan marketing channels before the orchard reaches production.

Every batch of Noorjahan saplings is propagated by veneer grafting from verified mother trees, ensuring you receive true-to-type plants suited to the Central Indian climate.

Frequently Asked Questions — Noorjahan Mango Plant India
When does Noorjahan mango ripen?
Noorjahan mango ripens in July and August — well after the main mango season ends. This post-season timing means it reaches the market when most other varieties have already sold out, which is a key reason it commands premium retail prices of ₹500–₹1,500 per fruit.How many Noorjahan mango plants can I grow per acre?
Because Noorjahan is a large, spreading tree, spacing is wider than for compact varieties. At 10×10 metre spacing you can fit 40–42 plants per acre. At 8×8 metres you can accommodate 60–65 plants. The wider spacing allows proper canopy development and supports the heavy fruit load during the bearing season.How many years until a grafted Noorjahan mango plant bears fruit?
Grafted Noorjahan mango plants from Madhyanchal Nursery typically bear their first fruits in 3 to 4 years. Full commercial production begins from the 6th–7th year, when a mature tree produces 30–80 fruits per season. Seedling-grown plants take 8–10 years — grafted plants are strongly recommended for commercial orchards.Is Noorjahan mango suitable for farming in Madhya Pradesh?
Yes — Noorjahan is native to Alirajpur district in Madhya Pradesh, making it ideally adapted to the state’s warm, dry summers and moderate rainfall.

Farmers across MP have successfully established Noorjahan orchards using grafted material from NHB-certified nurseries.What is the minimum order for Noorjahan mango plants?
