Jagdishpur is a town in Amethi in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Nihalgarh is the railway station of Jagdishpur and is on Lucknow-Sultanpur-Varanasi route.

It has good road connections to the cities of Lucknow, Raebareli, Sultanpur, Varanasi, Faizabad and Pratapgarh.

During the period when prominent political personalities opted for Amethi as their parliamentary constituency (in 1980's), Jagdishpur was selected to be a most suitable place in the district for setting up heavy and medium scale industries for generating employment for locals and their multi-pronged development.

Now it has become a grown up industrial area with Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Indo-Gulf Fertilizers and Steel Authority of India Limited as being main establishments.
