I have added new custom shipping field ( select option ) to woocommerce checkout page.

I am using that for shipping calculations.

that works perfect as well. but issue is while I change values in that field it do not update instantly.

It gives correct calculations on next page, after page submit. I need it to work as change in custom field.

How to trigger WooCommerce Ajax which updates shipping calculation on change of my custom field ?

This is actually extremely simple to do if you are adding your fields in the correct way(using the woocommerce_checkout_fields filter). The only thing you need to do is to add the classes address-field and update_totals_on_change like this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {

    $fields['shipping']['custom_field'] = array(
        'label' => 'Custom field',
        'required' => 1,
        'class' => array ('address-field', 'update_totals_on_change' )
    );

    return $fields;
}
