{{unreferenced section|date=September 2019}}
Jagdishpur is situated at about 29 km from the District Headquarter [[Gauriganj]] of [[Amethi]] district on the National Highway No. 56. It is 85 km from [[Lucknow]] toward east and 50 km from [[Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh|Sultanpur]]. [[Nihalgarh railway station|Nihalgarh]] is the railway station of Jagdishpur and is on Lucknow-Sultanpur-Varanasi route. Jagdishpur has been a major market itself and also played a role as a nodal centre for reaching to other important markets at other places. It has good road connections to the cities of [[Lucknow]], [[Raebareli]], [[Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh|Sultanpur]], [[Varanasi]], [[Faizabad]] and [[Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh|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.
