Abstract : Time required for ripening, post-ripening life, total post-harvest life, cumulative physiological loss in weight (CPLW) during storage and sensory qualities of fruits of seven mango hybrids were compared with those of 'Alphonso' variety. 'Arka Anmol' and 'Arka Neelkiran' took longer time for ripening (12.3 and 10.0 days) while 'Amrapali' and 'Mallika' ripened in shorter period (4.7 and 5.7 days). 'Mallika', 'Arka Neelkiran' and 'Arka Anmol' had longer post-ripening life. The total post-harvest life was maximum in 'Arka Anmol' (16.7 days) followed by 'Arka Neelkiran' (14.3 days). 'Arka Anmol' recorded least CPLW, while 'Arka*
