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, 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.
