Unchahar is a town and nagar panchayat in Raebareli district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Unchahar changed dramatically after the work done by former Member of Legislative Assembly, Har Narayan Singh.

Some of his work include the establishment of the well known Feroze Gandhi Thermal Power Station of the National Thermal Power Corporation, which now has an installed capacity of 1050 MW and the launching of the daily train "Unchahar Express" connecting Allahabad with Chandigarh.

Basic public amenities are not so good despite the NTPC power plant, electricity supply is poor,[citation needed] although it is an important landmark in Raibareli.
