The heritage moat

GI-tagged products of India

A Geographical Indication legally ties a product to its place of origin — an authenticity that no factory anywhere else can replicate. This is the complete registry: 590 GI-protected crafts and produce across 32 states and union territories, each a defensible, premium category for the world's brands.
