How Darjeeling Tea Became a Protected Geographical Indication (GI)

The Darjeeling tea industry has been significantly impacted by the PGI designation. Darjeeling tea’s originality and quality have been safeguarded, which has boosted consumer interest in it and raised its price. Darjeeling tea can now be distinguished from other types of tea thanks to the PGI label, which has increased its market share. Due to Indian government subsidies for PGI-registered products, the Darjeeling tea sector has also benefited financially from the PGI classification.
