PFB the JSFiddle for reference

https://jsfiddle.net/sonal215/6Lg9f5dx/

the code is as follows:

$(document).ready(function(){

var l1 = [['5/17/2016 10 AM', 78], ['5/17/2016 11 AM', 34], ['5/17/2016 12 PM', 67], ['5/17/2016 1 PM' , 18], ['5/17/2016 2 PM' , 33],['5/17/2016 3 PM', 7],['5/17/2016 4 PM', 13],['5/17/2016 5 PM' , 73],['5/17/2016 6 PM' , 93],['5/17/2016 7 PM' , 43],['5/17/2016 8 PM' , 53],['5/17/2016 9 PM' , 11],['5/17/2016 10 PM' , 83],['5/17/2016 11 PM' , 23]];


targetPlot = $.jqplot('targetAvailability', [l1], {
            seriesDefaults:{
                showMarker: false,
                fill: true,

            },
            tickInset: 0,
            axes: {
                xaxis:
                {
                    renderer:$.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer,
                    tickRenderer:$.jqplot.AxisTickRenderer,
                    tickOptions:
                    {
                        showGridline: false,
                        fontSize: '11px',
                        fontFamily: 'CiscoSansTTLight' ,

                    },
                    tickInterval: '8 hour',
                    min: '5/17/2016 11 AM',

                },
                yaxis: {
                    tickOptions:
                    {
                        fontSize: '11px',
                        fontFamily: 'CiscoSansTTLight' ,
                    },
                    min: 0,
                    max: 100,
                    tickInterval: 25
                }
            },


            cursor: {
                show: true,
                zoom: true,
                showTooltip: false
            }
        });   //end of targetPlot


}); //end of document ready

I tried changing the tickInterval to 6 hour, the x-axis then starts rendering from 6:00. i am unable to make out the relation between tickInterval and starting point of ticks. Please help

You should remove the tickInterval and set min and max points definition for the xaxis :

xaxis:
{
    min:'5/17/2016 10 AM',
    max:'5/17/2016 11 PM',
    ...rest of the code

I've updated your Fiddle with a working example:

If you want to keep the tickInterval , remove the max definition and use only min .
