29 GI-tagged spices · 10 lapsed

India’s GI-tagged spices

A Geographical Indication ties a spice to a place and its qualities — but a GI can lapse if the custodian does not renew it. 10 of these 29 registrations had lapsed on the Board’s register, which means the mark on the carton may no longer be protected. That is a sourcing risk, so we show validity, not just the badge.

Which spice GIs are still protected — and which have lapsed

Each bar runs from registration to expiry on a real time axis. Bars ending left of the 'today' line are lapsed: the GI mark on that spice may no longer be legally protected, which is a sourcing risk, not a detail.
