TVS Jupiter CNG Launched – 180 km Range, Affordable & Eco-Friendly with World’s First CNG Scooter

TVS Jupiter CNG is making headlines across the country, and for a good reason. As fuel prices continue to rise and urban commuting becomes more expensive, TVS has come up with a smart, affordable, and eco-conscious solution. Launched in 2025, the TVS Jupiter CNG is the world’s first scooter to come with a factory-fitted CNG kit, a game-changer in the two-wheeler segment.

In this article, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about this exciting launch—from its hybrid fuel setup and pricing to performance, mileage, and practical pros and cons. Whether you’re a daily commuter, delivery rider, or just someone looking to cut down on running costs, this scooter offers an interesting new option.

TVS Jupiter CNG: Why This Scooter Deserves Attention

The biggest reason why the TVS Jupiter CNG stands out is its dual-fuel technology. Unlike traditional scooters that run only on petrol, this one allows you to switch between CNG and petrol, depending on availability or preference. It’s ideal for city commuters who want low-cost mobility without jumping to electric vehicles. With its hybrid range of up to 180 km and a running cost as low as ₹1/km on CNG, this scooter is built to save money while keeping the environment in mind. Plus, it’s based on the tried-and-tested Jupiter 125 platform, which means it retains the familiar comfort and design people already love.

Design & Practicality

TVS has done a great job keeping the design familiar and practical. The Jupiter CNG carries forward the sleek, clean look of the Jupiter 125 with a modern front apron, LED headlamp, and halogen indicators. You’ll get it in classy colors like Pristine White, Titanium Grey, Dawn Orange, and IndiBlue, offering good variety.

The most noticeable change is the placement of the 1.4 kg CNG tank under the seat. It’s protected by a metal safety cover, which makes it secure but also removes any under-seat storage. This might be a dealbreaker for riders who usually store helmets or bags there. However, TVS adds practical features like a USB charging port and collapsible bag hook to add utility in other ways.

Instrument Console & Features

The instrument console on the TVS Jupiter CNG is a semi-digital unit that keeps things simple but informative. It shows essential info like speed, fuel level, CNG level, and trip meters. It’s not flashy like a TFT screen, but it gets the job done efficiently.

Other key features include:

• LED headlamp with Follow-Me function
  
• USB charging port
  
• All-in-one lock system for ignition, seat, and fuel cap
  
• Side-stand engine cut-off for added safety
  

There are also rumors about the inclusion of TVS’s IntelliGO start-stop system, which could make city rides even more fuel-efficient by switching off the engine during stops.

Performance & Mileage

This scooter is powered by a 124.8cc single-cylinder engine, producing 7.2 PS of power and 9.4 Nm of torque. The power delivery is smooth, and while it’s not built for speed, its top speed of 80 km/h is perfect for urban roads.

The standout feature is definitely the mileage:

• CNG mileage: 84 km/kg
  
• Range on CNG only: 100–120 km
  
• Extra petrol range: 50–60 km
  
• Combined hybrid range: Up to 180 km
  

With running costs estimated at just ₹1–₹1.5 per km on CNG, it’s among the most economical scooters available in India right now. That’s a big deal for daily riders and delivery workers who clock high kilometers each day.

Ride Comfort & Safety

The TVS Jupiter CNG retains the same chassis setup as the Jupiter 125, which means a comfortable ride is guaranteed. The suspension setup includes telescopic forks at the front and a rear monoshock, which absorb city bumps easily. The 90/90-12 tubeless tyres also offer good grip on various road conditions.

Braking is handled by drum brakes with Synchronized Braking Technology (SBT). While front disc brakes might be offered in higher variants, ABS is currently not available, which is a bit of a drawback considering safety expectations today. However, added features like side-stand engine inhibitor and LED lighting help balance it out.

Price & Availability

TVS has priced the Jupiter CNG between ₹90,000 and ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), which means on-road pricing in cities like Delhi could be around ₹1.1–₹1.15 lakh. The scooter is set to launch officially in October 2025, with deliveries starting in November 2025.

TVS may also introduce launch-time benefits, such as no-cost EMIs, exchange bonuses, and cashback offers. These options make it easier for budget buyers to own a fuel-efficient scooter without breaking the bank.
