Most recently, Muga Silk of Assam. See https://www.spicyipindia.blogspot.com (a blog relating to IP in India that I am a part of) and click on the label ""geographical indications"" on the left hand side of the website for all posts relating to this.

How far is the awareness among people in India about GI. I think the Government failed miserably in spreading awareness among people about registration of GI and its uses.
