Delivery day: when you take the keys, not when you book it.
There are 5 shubh days for buying a vehicle in November 2026: 1, 6, 25, 26 and 29 November. The strongest is Wednesday, 25 November 2026, at 91%.
Every day listed already meets the rules below. The % only ranks them against each other: it weighs the day’s tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana for this work, and 80% and up is the strongest.
Dhanteras, Friday, 6 November 2026, is on this list, a day many families choose for a new vehicle; its best time is 12:04 PM – 2:48 PM.
Pushya nakshatra on a Sunday (Ravi Pushya) or a Thursday (Guru Pushya) is the other day families look for: Sunday, 1 November 2026 and Sunday, 29 November 2026.
5 shubh days for buying a vehicle in November 2026; below, every day of the month, shubh or not, and why.
What counts is the delivery: the moment you take the keys and the vehicle first moves, not the day you book it. Many families do a small puja then, a swastik in roli on the bonnet and a coconut broken before it, and take the first drive to a temple.
The festival days, for this work:
| Check | This day | The rule |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday | Wednesday | one of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday |
| Nakshatra | Rohini | one of the 12 nakshatras this is done in |
| Tithi | Krishna Pratipada | an allowed tithi |
| Best time | 1:27 PM – 4:50 PM | clear of Rahu Kaal (the eighth of the daylight that belongs to Rahu), 12:07 PM – 1:27 PM |
Clock times are for New Delhi; they move with sunrise, by up to about an hour across India. The tithi and the nakshatra are the same everywhere. For your own city, use the vehicle purchase muhurat finder.
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music; movable (chara), for what moves, such as travel. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini), the swift ones (Pushya, Hasta), the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati) and the movable ones (Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha). It leaves out the rikta (“empty”) tithis, Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi, which are kept clear of beginnings, and Amavasya, the dark night. Its table also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, Dwitiya, Saptami and Dwadashi, and Krishna Dwitiya, Saptami and Dwadashi, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Tuesday is Mangal’s day and Saturday is Shani’s day, and Mangal and Shani are krura (harsh) grahas: those days are left out.
All the rules for buying a vehicle: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour
5 days: Sunday, 1 November 2026, Friday, 6 November 2026, Wednesday, 25 November 2026, Thursday, 26 November 2026 and Sunday, 29 November 2026, for New Delhi.
Not by the panchang: Krishna Chaturdashi till 11:28 AM, then Amavasya: neither tithi is taken for buying a vehicle.
Wednesday, 25 November 2026, at 91%: Krishna Pratipada and Rohini nakshatra, best 1:27 PM – 4:50 PM.
Of its 30 days, 17 have no allowed nakshatra and tithi in the same hour and 8 fall on a weekday it is not done on.
January 2027, with 8 days; December 2026 has 6.
A muhurat read off the panchang is the same for everybody in New Delhi. Read against your own kundli it can move, and for buying a vehicle that is usually worth the ten minutes.
