GI-tagged Indi Lime

The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) recently facilitated the first air shipment of GI-tagged Indi Lime from Karnataka and Puliyankudi Lime from Tamil Nadu to the United Kingdom. Indi Lime, grown mainly in Vijayapura, is recognized for its superior quality, strong aroma, high juice yield, and balanced acidity. Puliyankudi Lime, cultivated in Puliyankudi (“Lemon City of Tamil Nadu”), particularly the Kadayam variety, has a thin peel, strong acidity, 55% juice content, and 34.3 mg/100g vitamin C, making it rich in antioxidants that promote immunity and digestion. Puliyankudi Lime received its GI tag in April 2025.
