Abstract: In India, Geographical Indication (GI) has emerged as a major kind of IP rights issue. It gives the product's
manufacturers or producers from that specific area the ability to utilize the indication. This implies that they also possess the
legal authority to forbid the use of any sign or name that lacks specific attributes guaranteed by the Geographical Indication of
that specific product. GI is a useful instrument for creating jobs in rural areas and generating revenue from exports. In order
to establish a brand in foreign markets, the regulatory framework must place greater emphasis on quality control criteria. The
paper has been focused on the GI product currents trends in India, Telangana and the challenges faced.

Keywords: Intellectual Property, Geographical Indications, India, Telangana, Challenges.

I. INTRODUCTION
These are the days when traditional knowledge is protected and the knowledge economy is growing. Market economies
constantly struggle with issues of copying, piracy, and information misuse by imitators seeking ever-greater profits. It becomes
vital to preserve intellectual property rights. With the help of IPR legislation and numerous initiatives like "Make in India" and
"Atmanirbhar Bharat," India has established a robust IPR framework. The need to preserve traditional knowledge and skills
from different geographic areas, along with intellectual property, has grown. The Covid-19 epidemic has raised awareness
among all people about the importance of maintaining and safeguarding intellectual property in the digital age, as well as
connecting to the origins of traditional knowledge, particularly in the health industry. There will be advantages for economic
growth, job creation, and revenue production from the legal protection of intellectual property. Stopping the piracy and
exploitation of intellectual property will get simpler in this approach.
A Geographical Indication (GI) is a label applied to products that are distinct from one another due to their production
in a specific geographic area and guaranteed quality. These products have a specific geological origin. Given that many
agricultural goods are impacted by unique local geographical elements, such as soil and climate, which may be determined
from their point of origin, geographical indications can be applied to a broad range of agricultural products. The usage of
Geographical Indications (GI) extends beyond agricultural items, as they can also highlight a product's unique characteristics
resulting from human elements such as local manufacturing skills and traditions. Prior to the TRIPS agreement, three major
international accords addressed the protection of Geographical Indication
A) Comprehending Geographical Indication (GI)
The term "geographic indication" (GI) refers to a label placed on products that are distinctive due to their specific
geological origin, limited production area, and guaranteed quality. Because a large range of agricultural products can be
determined by their place of origin and are impacted by certain local geographical characteristics like soil and climate,
geographical indications can be applied to a wide range of agricultural products. However, the application of GI is not just
restricted to agricultural items; it also highlights the unique characteristics of a product that result from human elements such as
local manufacturing techniques and traditions. Geographical indications are protected differently from other Intellectual
Property Rights (IPRs) such as patents, trademarks, and designs. Before the TRIPS agreement, there were primarily three
international agreements addressing this issue. Geographical indication protection is given to a collection of producers who are
associated with the specific area where the product was first produced. Numerous factors influence geographic indications (GI
products), including origin, geography, climate, and human activity in a certain area.
"A geographical indication refers to an indication capable of identifying goods, including natural goods, agricultural
goods, or manufactured goods, as manufactured or originating in a country's territory, or a locality or region within that
territory, where a specific quality, reputation, or any other attribute of such good is particularly a characteristic to its
geographical origin," states Section 2(1)(e) of the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999.

When it comes to manufactured goods, one of the operations associated with their production, processing, or preparation ought
to occur within the territory, area, or location. The Indian GI Act became operative on September 15, 2003.
Geographical indications (GIs) constitute a noteworthy form of intellectual property. There are currently more GI-
tagged products available in India. India is in a favorable position and has a rich cultural legacy because of its many regions,
including Kashmir, Punjab, Kerala, and Haryana. As a result, raising public awareness and helping people comprehend the
benefits and role of GI are important.
It is imperative to acknowledge that the benefits derived from a product's GI classification must ultimately be
distributed to the actual manufacturers and craftspeople. A strong institutional structure and legislative framework are needed
for this.
B) Origin
The Madrid Agreement (1891), the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their
International Registration (1958), and the Paris 2 Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883). But the issue of a
hierarchy of protection levels under the TRIPS Agreement that is predicated on a fictitious and arbitrary classification of
products still exists. However, it can be attributed to the European Union's remarkable negotiation skills that GI was eventually
included in the TRIPS Agreement. Indian lawmakers passed the Geographical Indication of Goods
(Registration and Protection) Act in 1999, which is the first specific law dealing to the filing and
safeguarding of Geographic Indications (GIs). The Act became operative on September 15, 2003. In accordance with
this act, the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks of the Central Government of India established the
Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai to register geographical indications.
C) Definition of GI:
Geographical indicators are defined as "Indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of a country, or
a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation, or other characteristics of the good are essentially
attributable to its geographical origin" by the World Trade Organization. (Source: Geographic Indication, no date) (1) "A
geographical indication is a label applied to goods that are uniquely their own and have characteristics or a reputation that stem
from that origin. For a product to be considered a GI, its location of origin must be indicated by a sign.
Moreover, the characteristics, qualities, or status of the product should be predominantly ascribed to the
nation in which it was made. Because the qualities rely on the geographic region of production, there is a
clear link between the product and its original place of manufacture.
II. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To analyze state-wise, product-wise, and year-wise distribution of different products under GI registered in India from
April 2004 to 30th March 2024.
2. To understand the legal framework and role of GI in the Indian context.
3. To find out the challenges regarding the GI in India.
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research study is descriptive in nature. Legal considerations, GI concepts, and other associated topics have all been
examined. This study, which is qualitative in nature, is based on secondary sources of data, including the Telangana State and
Indian IPR laws and the GI Act.
IV. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study makes Geographical Indication in India easier to understand for both researchers and the general public.
Additionally, it will assist GI registry officials in taking the appropriate steps to modify their website. Indian citizens would be
able to learn how many and what kind of Indian products are registered under the GI.
V. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Only doctrinal research involving books, journal articles, and pertinent resources has been included in the study. Due to
temporal constraints, the researcher has examined the GIs' product list as it appears on the official IPR, India website through
March 30, 2024.
VI. RECENT TRENDS OF GI PRODUCTS IN INDIA
India's renowned Banaras Thandai is among the more than 60 goods that have been granted the Geographical Indication
(GI) designation. A senior official from the Geographical Indications register stated that this is the first time such a significant
number of GI tags had been issued at once. Additionally, he mentioned that more States were stepping up and submitting bids
to have some of their traditional and historic items granted a GI tag.

 D. Satyanarayana / IRJEMS, 3(4), 216-222, 2024

The GI title has been earned by six ancient Assamese crafts: the Bihu dhol, the Mishing handloom items, the Jaapi
(bamboo headgear worn in rural Assam), the Pani Meteka craft, and the Asharikandi terracotta craft.
Thirteen additional Assamese products have been tagged, such as the Bodo Dokhona, the traditional clothing worn by
Bodo women, and the Bodo Eri silk, also known as the fabric of peace or ahimsa (non-violence), which is made from cassava
and the silkworm Samia ricini, which primarily feeds on the leaves of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). Bodo Thorkha, a
musical instrument, Bodo Jwmgra, a traditional scarf, Bodo Gamsa, a traditional clothing worn by Bodo men, and Bodo
Sifung, a long flute, are all included in the list. Six distinguished GI Tags have been awarded in Assam to traditional crafts,
encompassing well-known products such as Sarthebari Metal Craft, Japi, and Assam Bihu Dhol. With a rich history, these
items directly assist close to one lakh individuals.
The well-known Banaras Thandai, a milk-based beverage flavored with a wholesome mixture of nuts, seeds, and spices,
was also given the designation. According to information in the GI file, traditional Banaras Thandai stores draw sizable crowds
on any given evening in the city's central districts, including Gaudaulia Chowk, Lahurabir, and the historic Pakka Mahal lane.
Originally served as a sacrifice to the Hindu deity Shri Kashi Vishwanath on the occasions of Mahashivaratri, Rangbhari
Ekadasi, and Holi, the beverage was first presented many centuries ago. Among the goods that left this region with GI tags
were the Banaras Tabla, Banaras Shehnai, Banaras Lal Bharwamirch, and Banaras Lal Peda.
Two tags were obtained by the Tripura region: one for the Matabari Peda, a sweet concoction, and another for the
Pachra-Rignai, a traditional clothing worn on special occasions. Chief Minister Manik Saha of Tripura also praised the self-
help organizations on X for bringing attention to the State of Tripura. Additionally granted GI tags are the "Meghalaya
Chubitchi" and "Meghalaya Lyrnai Pottery," as well as the "Meghalaya Garo Textile" weaving, which is connected to socio-
cultural and religious rites.
Products that possess attributes associated with a certain region and have a defined geographical origin are granted the
Geographical Indication. Approximately 635 goods in India have received the GI label as of this writing. Two decades ago, the
renowned Darjeeling tea received the nation's first GI tag.
VII. GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS (GI) REGISTERED PRODUCTS IN INDIA
India now has over 600 products with geographical indications (GI) registered, with Uttar Pradesh topping the list with
69 products. The largest number of products with GI tags from a single geographic location has been found in Varanasi, Uttar
Pradesh. Thirty approved products, including Banaras Thandai, Shehnai, Tabla, Lal Peda, and Mural Painting, are available in
Varanasi.
The Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (CGPDTM) reports that as of March 31, 2024, 635 Indian
items had received GI Tags. Sixty-five of the 1,158 applications that were submitted to the patent office in the last 20 years are
now GI-registered.
The patent office claims that the well-known Hyderabad Lac bangles have received GI certification. The GI registration
process also applies to the renowned Warangal Chapata chile from Telangana, the Balanagar custard apple, the Nizamabad
turmeric, the Nalgonda oriental pickled melon (Dosakai), and the Kollapur mangoes from the Nagarkurnool area. A
geographical indicator (GI) is a label applied to goods that have a particular geographical origin and are known for certain
attributes or characteristics derived from that origin.
A) Record GI Registration in 2023-24
The patent office awarded GI tags to 160 products in 2023–2024—a 300% increase over 2022–2023. On March 30,
2024, 63 GI tags were awarded out of the 160 products that received GI tags.
B) Products granted Maximum GI tag during 2023-24
With respect to the 160 products that received GI tags, the highest number came from the following categories:
handicrafts (30 products), agriculture (16 products), textiles (11 products), and manufactured and food items (three products
each).
C) State-leading GI tag registration in 2023-24
The largest numbers of items from the following states were among the 160 that received GI tag registration in 2023–
2024.
 Uttar Pradesh (69).
 Tamil Nadu (58)
 Tamil Nadu was the state with the highest number of GI tag registrations last year.

D) Record GI registration in March 2024

The Patent Office reports that on March 30, 2024, a record 63 GI tags were issued in a single day. The greatest quantity
of goods eligible for GI tags came from
 Assam: Nineteen items
 Gujarat (5), Maharashtra (16), Uttar Pradesh (16), Meghalaya (4), and Tripura (2)
E) Geographical Indication Tag
Products that are manufactured, natural, or derived from a certain area are marked with a Geographical Indication tag.
The goods must be created in the designated area and possess the unique qualities, reputation, or other traits unique to the area.
Products are legally protected when they have a GI tag. It shields a Registered Geographical Indication from being used
without permission. In 1999, the Indian Parliament passed the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and
Protection) Act. Geographical indications are registered with the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and TradeMarks.
Tamil Nadu's Chennai is home to the Geographical Indications Registry. In 2003, Darjeeling tea became the first product to
receive a GI label.
VIII. LIST OF GI TAG PRODUCTS IN INDIA 2024
As an essential component of intellectual property protection, Geographical Indication (GI) tags are used in India to
identify products that are native to particular regions and have unique attributes, reputations, or traits that are intrinsic to their
origin. These tags, which are regulated by the Geographical Indications of Commodities (Registration and Protection) Act,
1999, guard the originality and authenticity of commodities with a local connection by prohibiting the unapproved use of brand
names or reputations.
The first product in India to be recognized with GI Tags was the esteemed Darjeeling Tea, which was introduced on
September 15, 2003. For a list of GI Tag products in India through 2024. Rupa Cuttack Tarakasi, Muslin Banglar Obtain a GI
Tag Geographical Indication (GI) tags have been awarded to Cuttack's Silver Filigree, also known as Tarakasi, and Banglar
Muslin, recognizing India's rich artisanal legacy.
With a 500-year history, Silver Filigree is a display of excellent metalwork, while Banglar Muslin is a representation of
Bengali cotton fabric. These accolades, like others like Kutch Rogan Craft and Narasapur Crochet Lace, are meant to safeguard
traditional crafts from duplication. These programs honor India's rich cultural heritage, underlining the value of keeping
traditional methods alive for upcoming generations, encouraging pride among craftspeople, and underscoring their importance
on a worldwide scale.
IX. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS ON GI TAGS IN INDIA
There were a number of significant advancements in the field of GI Tags in India in 2024. Notably, Similipal Kai
Chutney, which is made with red weaver ants by tribal groups in Odisha's Mayurbhanj region, received its GI Tag on January
2, 2024. This culinary specialty is a perfect representation of the area's distinct heritage. In addition, the Gucci Mushroom
from Jammu and Kashmir is currently in the process of obtaining a GI Tag, which will serve to identify its unique provenance
and attributes specific to the area.

B) List of GI Tags in Telangana
Tandur Red Gram now has a spot on the list of patented commodities after the Geographical Indications Registry
awarded it Geographical Indication (GI) designation. Tandur Red Gram is one of eight products or items that have been
bestowed with the prestigious title. Products that are distinct and relate to a particular area or origin are assigned a geographic
indication. In 2005, Pochampally Ikat became the first product in the state to be awarded a GI tag.
With the GI certificate for Tandur Red Gram in the category of Agriculture commodities, Telangana can now claim 15
products that have been labeled with the GI logo. Additionally, the state has submitted applications for products like Warangal
Chepta (Chillies) and Hyderabad Lac Bangles.
In all, 432 items in India, and GI designation has been awarded to 432 goods, the first being Darjeeling tea, which was
accorded this classification in 2004–05.
A GI's registration is good for ten years from the date it is issued, and it is renewable every ten years. Based in Chennai,
the Geographical Indications Registry is run under the auspices of the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and
Protection) Act, 1999.

X. CHALLENGES AHEAD
The issues facing India in the future will be successful GI implementation and raising public awareness of the disease. It
is imperative that there be a robust legal structure in place to prevent competitors both domestically and internationally from
replicating India's GI badges. There are numerous examples of local and international traders copying GI tags, such as those on
Banarasi sarees and Darjeeling tea.
Issues with quality: The GI Act gives less attention to problems with quality monitoring. The only regulations under the
GI Act for monitoring the quality of goods such as food items and handicrafts are Rules 32(6)g and Form GI-1. Creating strict
legislative guidelines to guarantee the quality of goods with GI tags is a formidable task. For example, let's examine the special
instance of Muga Silk. To give an example, let's examine the situation of Muga Silk, a special variation of Assamese natural
silk fabric with a golden hue. In July 2006, it was granted GI tag approval while disregarding quality control guidelines.
However, the state government just began the inspection system that deals with geographical origin issues and other connected
issues.
A) Imitation of the Products:
India is also producing low-quality imitations, especially in the Surat area of the Gujarat state. A near alternative to the
original pashmina or Kashmiri shawl is the semi-pashmina or silk-pashmina.
B) Enforcing GIs:
Upholding the GI Act effectively presents significant obstacles in and of itself. The availability of several venues for the
sale of these goods is the cause. In both the domestic and international markets, monitoring and screening these kinds of outlets
is a difficult process.
C) Global Image Creation:
Establishing a brand and shaping consumers' perceptions of it are crucial aspects of commercialization. Promotional
marketing techniques that concentrate on the psychology of both domestic and foreign consumers are required for this.
In India, GI is a useful tool for rural development. Let's examine this using the example of handloom weaving, which
has historically provided a means of subsistence. When power looms were introduced, handlooms—a classic example of
traditional and ancestor-level ability and knowledge—started to suffer. In India, the handloom industry is unique in each of the
country's states and regions. With the help of GI tags, the handloom industry can once again become a major source of
employment and growth in rural areas. TTD has another intriguing example. In September 2009, Tirumala Tirupati
Devsthanams (TTD) received GI tag for Tirupati Laddu to stop the local hawkers from making them and selling them in the
local marketplaces.
Because it violated GI Act section 9(d), there was a tremendous deal of debate surrounding it. Furthermore, GI tags are
intended to reflect the economic success of a specific geographic area. Critics contended that TTD is a singular organization
that does not speak for the entire region and that the GI law has been broken by the sanctioning body. There are instances
where GI tags or brand names are misused. Allegations surfaced that organizations based in France, Japan, and Russia were
misappropriating the Darjeeling brand, logo, and GI tag.
XI. FINDINGS
GI is a useful instrument for creating jobs in rural areas and generating revenue from exports. In order to establish a
brand in foreign markets, the regulatory framework must place greater emphasis on quality control criteria. In India, GI is not
very well-liked. As a result, raising awareness among the public is imperative.

XII. SUGGESTIONS
This study offered some recommendations for resolving the problems and difficulties that producers and manufacturers
encountered. Since GI was primarily created to prevent counterfeit goods and safeguard producer interests, it should be widely
used to: Educate consumers about GI.
The relevant government body is required to guarantee that the laws governing geographical indications (GI) are
suitably implemented in order to prevent the production and manufacturing of identical items that are registered under GI.
The makers voiced several key issues, one of which was the product's premium pricing. A premium price determined by
the government is required for all commodities classified under GI.
This will support and motivate the manufacturers of these goods to stick to the tried-and-true method. These items must
be marketed globally by the government, which should also position them as a GI brand—an exclusive category brand.
The makers of GI products ought to receive tax breaks. It is possible to create a unique tax category for GI products. GI
goods can also be advertised under the tourism umbrella and in tourist hotspots like airports. The manufacturers of GI must
have access to appropriate legal information and counsel in order to safeguard their product from unlawful.
XIII. CONCLUSION
Since GI is a newer form of intellectual property, it must have sufficient protection in the age of intellectual property.
The distance between countries has shrunk due to globalization, which has also enhanced and increased trade links between
them. However, there have been instances where this has hurt the sales of local goods and led consumers to choose branded
goods instead of locally made ones. It is now necessary to defend local goods on the international market. These products also
need to be sufficiently safeguarded. GI therefore plays a crucial role in safeguarding the interests of the local market.
