The Geographical Indication was applied for Nagpur orange with the registrar of GIs in India, and is effective as of April 2014.[4] Nagpur oranges blossom during the monsoon season and are ready to be harvested. The orange crop grows twice a year. The fruit available from September to December is Ambiya which has a slightly sour taste. It is followed by the sweeter Mrig crop in January.
