Use Local Sawmill Wood, Build Global-Grade Products – Get Full Setup Assistance

Chhattisgarh is rich in forest-based hardwoods like teak (saagwan), sal, haldu, bijasal, and gamar. Across districts like Jagdalpur, Kanker, Kondagaon, and Dhamtari, sawmills already process timber into planks and blocks — creating a ready supply of raw material.

We help you establish small to mid-size manufacturing units that take this sawn timber and convert it into furniture, idols, décor items, gift boxes, and utility products — ready for domestic sale or export.

🔍 Focus: Not Sawmill Setup — But Product Manufacturing from Sawn Wood

We do not offer support for setting up timber sawmills. Instead, we connect you to sawmill networks and support you in building:

• 🪑 Furniture Manufacturing Units

• 🕉️ Hand-Carved Wooden Idol & Decor Units

• 📦 Wooden Packaging & Gift Box Plants

• Utility Product Workshops (tray, spoon, frames, etc.)

🪵 Timber Wood Types Available in Chhattisgarh

• Teak Wood (Tectona grandis) – premium, termite-resistant

• Sal Wood (Shorea robusta) – strong, ideal for doors, crates

• Haldu (Haldina cordifolia) – light carving, utility items

• Bijasal (Pterocarpus marsupium) – reddish tone, furniture

• Gamar (Gmelina arborea) – musical instruments, decor

• Saja (Terminalia tomentosa) – for planks, packaging

We help you source legal, sawn timber directly from registered depots and sawmills in Chhattisgarh.

🌳 Why Chhattisgarh is Ideal for Timber & Wood Product Manufacturing

Chhattisgarh is one of India's most forest-rich states, with over 44% of its land covered in dense forest. The state is home to valuable timber species like teak (saagwan), sal, haldu, bijasal, and gamar, making it a natural hub for timber manufacturing and wood-based product industries.

Districts like Bastar, Kanker, Kondagaon, Dhamtari, and Raigarh are surrounded by forest zones where timber is legally harvested, auctioned, and processed in local sawmills. These sawmills produce sawn wood that can be directly used to start value-added manufacturing units for:

• Wooden furniture

• Carved wooden idols

• Tribal home decor

• Wooden packaging and gift boxes

This makes Chhattisgarh an ideal location to start a wood product unit using existing forest-linked infrastructure — without cutting any trees yourself.

Moreover, the presence of skilled tribal artisans, forest-based MSME schemes, and access to legal wood through government-approved depots ensures that your business stays compliant, sustainable, and profitable.
