Shahi litchi, a variety of the fruit that is grown in five districts of Bihar (namely Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, Samastipur, Champaran and Begusarai) and the adjoining areas, was given the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. It has become the fourth product from the state to receive the status, the others being Jardalu mango, Katarni rice and Magahi paan.
