Today's Sehri & Iftar Time in New Delhi

Ramadan 2026 in India is expected to begin on the evening of Wednesday, February 18, 2026, with the first fast (Roza) on Thursday, February 19, 2026, subject to moon sighting confirmed by the Markazi Ruyat-e-Hilal Committee. Ramadan is expected to end on March 19–20, 2026, with Eid ul-Fitr celebrated shortly after.

India spans a large geographic area from east to west — roughly 29 degrees of longitude. Sunrise and sunset times vary significantly across cities. Kolkata in the east has sunrise about 1 hour 30 minutes earlier than Mumbai in the west. Since Sehri ends at dawn (Fajr) and Iftar starts at sunset (Maghrib), the times differ considerably city by city. All timings on this site are in IST (UTC+5:30).

We use the Hanafi calculation method, which is the standard followed by the majority of Sunni Muslims in India. Sehri time ends approximately 10 minutes before the Fajr Adhan, and Iftar begins at the exact time of sunset (Maghrib). Please verify with your local mosque for final confirmation, as a 1-2 minute safety margin is always recommended.

Since Ramadan 2026 falls in February–March, fasting hours in India will be relatively moderate — typically 12 to 14 hours depending on your city. Northern cities like Srinagar may fast slightly longer (~13–14 hours), while southern cities like Thiruvananthapuram will fast a bit shorter (~12–12.5 hours). The duration also increases slightly through the month as days get longer.

On the first day of Ramadan (Feb 19, 2026), approximate Sehri end times in major cities are: New Delhi ~5:37 AM, Mumbai ~5:48 AM, Kolkata ~4:48 AM, Chennai ~5:26 AM, Hyderabad ~5:31 AM, Bangalore ~5:30 AM, Lucknow ~5:29 AM, and Srinagar ~5:25 AM.
