==Name==
It is named after its place of origin, the district of Nandurbar, located in the northwest corner of Maharashtra while Mirchi means Chilli - in the local state language of [[Marathi language|Marathi]].{{citation needed|date= November 2024}}<ref>{{cite book |last1=Varshney |first1=Dr Reema |last2=Chaudhary |first2=Ms Nimisha Rana |title=Innovation and Recent Advancement in Fashion and Textile |date=27 May 2023 |publisher=Highlyy Publishing LLP |isbn=978-93-95522-15-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9KXBEAAAQBAJ&dq=mirchi+means+chilli&pg=PA46 |access-date=5 November 2024 |language=en}}</ref>

==Geographical indication==
It was awarded the [[List of geographical indications in India|Geographical Indication]] (GI) status tag from the [[Geographical Indication Registry (India)|Geographical Indications Registry]] under the [[Government of India|Union Government of India]] on 30 March 2024 (valid until 19 October 2031).<ref>{{cite web |title=Geographical Indications |publisher=Intellectual Property India |url=https://search.ipindia.gov.in/GIRPublic/Application/Details/787 |access-date=4 November 2024}}</ref>

Dr. Headgevar Sewa Samiti from Nandurbar proposed the GI registration of Nandurbar Mirchi. After filing the application on 20/10/2021, the chilli was granted the GI tag in 2024 by the Geographical Indication Registry in [[Chennai]], making the name "Nandurbar Mirchi" exclusive to the chilies grown in the region. It thus became the 2nd chilli variety from Maharashtra after [[Bhiwapur chilli]] (which received in 2016) and the 39th type of goods from Maharashtra to earn the GI tag.{{citation needed|date= November 2024}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Maharashtra |url=https://apeda.gov.in/apedawebsite/about_apeda/Maharashtra.htm |website=APEDA |access-date=5 November 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Five more products from Maharashtra get GI certificates |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/five-more-products-from-maharashtra-get-gi-certificates/articleshow/53291253.cms |access-date=5 November 2024 |work=The Times of India |date=20 July 2016}}</ref>
