The Warangal Chapata Chilli, also known as Tomato Chilli, has been granted a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, recognizing its unique qualities and regional significance in Telangana. This GI tag is expected to benefit around 20,000 farmers in the Warangal region by enhancing their income and boosting demand in domestic and international markets. The chilli is known for its bright red colour, mild pungency, and use as a natural colouring agent. Its cultivation has been a part of Telangana’s agricultural heritage for over 80 years, making it a valuable product for the state’s economy.
