October 2026 has 5 auspicious days for buying a vehicle in New Delhi on which our calculation and Drik Panchang agree: 21 October (Wednesday), 22 October (Thursday), 25 October (Sunday), 28 October (Wednesday) and 30 October (Friday). Pitru Paksha runs from 1 to 10 October 2026, and Drik Panchang’s list gives no vehicle purchase muhurat in it; the days of Navratri (11–19 October) and Dussehra (20 October) are not on this list either, so the first muhurat is the day after Dussehra, 21 October. The days are chosen by nakshatra, tithi and weekday; lagna and Rahu kaal are not part of this list, so look at them too when fixing the time, or ask your purohit.

Times for New Delhi, in Indian Standard Time. Each day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise; where a time falls after midnight, its date is in brackets. The days are chosen by nakshatra, tithi and weekday; lagna and Rahu kaal are not part of this list, so look at them too when fixing the time, or ask your purohit.
How these days were chosen
Each day, from sunrise to the next sunrise, was checked minute by minute for nakshatra, tithi and weekday by the rules for buying a vehicle, for the day not being in an Adhik month or Pitru Paksha, and for the window not beginning late at night (15 hours after sunrise); only a stretch of at least 5 minutes counts. The rules were matched against Drik Panchang’s list and its day-by-day notes. The full rules: Vehicle purchase muhurat 2026-27
We publish only the days on which our calculation and Drik Panchang’s list agree within 5 minutes at both ends.
Frequently asked questions
When are the muhurats for buying a vehicle in October 2026?
October 2026 has 5 auspicious days (New Delhi): Wednesday, 21 October: the whole day (6:25 AM to 6:26 AM on 22 October); Thursday, 22 October: 6:26 AM–2:49 PM; Sunday, 25 October: 11:57 AM–7:23 PM; Wednesday, 28 October: 1:27 PM to 1:08 AM on 29 October; Friday, 30 October: 6:31 AM–9:05 AM.
When is the muhurat to buy a car or bike in Navratri and on Dussehra 2026?
Sharad Navratri runs from 11 to 19 October, and Dussehra (Vijayadashami) is on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Drik Panchang’s vehicle purchase list, and our calculation too, have no day from 11 to 20 October; this list gives no vehicle purchase muhurat on a Tuesday, and Dussehra falls on a Tuesday. October’s first muhurat is the day after Dussehra, Wednesday, 21 October, the whole day (6:25 AM to 6:26 AM on 22 October); then 22, 25, 28 and 30 October. In many regions weapons, tools and vehicles are worshipped on Dussehra by custom; to buy on these days, ask your purohit.
Should one buy a vehicle in Pitru Paksha?
Drik Panchang’s list gives no vehicle purchase muhurat in Pitru Paksha, so there are no days on this list from 1 to 10 October 2026. These days are kept for shraddh and tarpan; ask your purohit about your family’s custom.
Which dates in October 2026 have no muhurat for buying a vehicle?
This list has no muhurat for buying a vehicle on 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29 and 31 October, and 1 to 10 October is Pitru Paksha.

Should Rahu kaal and lagna be checked too?
Yes, that is Drik Panchang’s advice: join the time with a movable or dual lagna and avoid Rahu kaal. This list looks only at nakshatra, tithi and weekday. Rahu kaal is given in each day’s panchang and on the choghadiya page; ask your purohit about the lagna.
