JuteVilla
Shikohabad is a city and a municipal board in the Firozabad district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The city has been famous since the British Period for its Glass Industry. Shikohabad has one of the oldest Bulb and Electric Tube manufacturing units (Hind Lamps Ltd), established in 1945, which was the largest in Asia at that time — the company is now owned by Bajaj Electricals. The vast factory premises also have a residential area with all the modern amenities of a township. This industrial unit has provided a major boost to the business of traders and other service providers in the city.

Bateshwar, a famous Hindu pilgrimage centre dedicated to Lord Shiva, and also a famous Jain Tirth on the banks of River Yamuna, is situated 22 kilometres south of Shikohabad. Shikohabad falls under the Taj Trapezium Zone
