The history of wooden handicraft industry in Saharanpur dates back to 400 years back in Mughal era when some craftsman from Kashmir came back and settled in Saharanpur in search of bread and butter and eventually settled in the city to make the craft known worldwide as the Wooden Carving Industry of Saharanpur. With the seat of Mughal empire and the British in Delhi and the royalty associated with the classic wooden handicrafts, Saharanpur could develop itself as an industry overtime with generations of families becoming a part of this trade.

In 2014, the industry was given a GI tag. Initially, the industry was limited to household carving done on Sheesham wood which would be readily available in Saharanpur and the finished product would be supplied to markets of Delhi and Lucknow, but overtime with increased demand the use of wood like Mango and Keekar also grew with greater mechanization. The products manufactured here still preserve with it the fragrance of years of heritage and history and the intricate handwork of the laborer. The products range from furniture, wall decors, wooden panels, antiques, gift items etc. In this endeavor of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, the wooden handicraft of Saharanpur can serve as an important substitute to multiple imports and an attempt to regain the old glory of the city.
