TVS Jupiter CNG : With rising fuel prices and growing concern for the environment, the Indian two-wheeler market is shifting toward alternative and cleaner fuel options. Leading this change, TVS Motor Company has taken a bold step by introducing the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG, the world’s first factory-fitted CNG scooter. It was recently showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, attracting attention for its innovation, affordability, and eco-friendliness.
Design and Key Features
The TVS Jupiter CNG retains the familiar chassis and design of the Jupiter 125 petrol variant but introduces new features suitable for a dual-fuel setup. It includes:
-
LED headlamp
-
Digi-analogue instrument console
-
USB charging port
-
Start/stop technology
-
Side-stand indicator
-
All-in-one lock system
Due to the placement of the CNG tank, the under-seat storage space is no longer available, which is one of the only major compromises in this otherwise practical design.
Bi-Fuel Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the scooter is expected to feature a 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine paired with a CVT gearbox. The powertrain delivers up to 9.4 Nm of torque, and its top speed is estimated to be around 80–80.5 km/h.
This CNG-powered scooter offers the flexibility of using both CNG and petrol, making it convenient and cost-effective for daily commuters.
Dual Fuel Tanks and Impressive Range
TVS has cleverly integrated two fuel tanks:
-
A 1.4 kg CNG tank located under the seat
-
A 2-litre petrol tank integrated into the floorboard
The CNG-only mileage is expected to be 84 km/kg, while the combined range (CNG + petrol) is approximately 226 km—a practical solution for long city commutes and short intercity trips.
Launch Timeline and Expected Price
While the company hasn’t announced the official launch date yet, reports suggest that the TVS Jupiter CNG may arrive in late 2025 or early 2026. Pricing details are also under wraps, but industry insiders estimate an ex-showroom price between ₹90,000 to ₹1,00,000, making it a strong competitor in the budget-friendly scooter segment.
Easy Financing Options
As per recent promotional reports, customers may be able to bring home the Jupiter CNG with a down payment of just ₹7,299 and EMIs starting at ₹2,100/month, making it an accessible option for many urban riders.
Final Thoughts
The TVS Jupiter CNG is a forward-thinking innovation that brings together performance, affordability, and eco-conscious design. With rising fuel costs and the need for sustainable mobility, this scooter could redefine the future of two-wheelers in India. If launched as expected, it will offer a serious challenge to both petrol and electric scooters in the sub-₹1 lakh category.
