TVS Motor Company has introduced the groundbreaking TVS Jupiter 125 CNG, the worldโs first scooter powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), revealed at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Slated to hit Indian markets around October 2025, this environmentally friendly scooter boasts an outstanding fuel efficiency of 84 kilometers per kilogram of CNG and a combined range of 226 kilometers thanks to its dual-fuel system. Priced between โน95,000 and โน1 lakh (ex-showroom), itโs an affordable choice for everyday commuters. With fuel costs soaring, this scooter is a game-changer for urban riders aiming to cut expenses and reduce their carbon footprint.
Green and Wallet-Friendly
The TVS Jupiter CNG marks a significant leap toward sustainable transportation. It operates on both CNG and petrol, allowing riders to switch fuels effortlessly with a button on the handlebar. A 1.4-kilogram CNG tank, stored under the seat, delivers 84 kilometers per kilogram, while a 2-liter petrol tank in the floorboard extends the range. Together, they provide a total range of 226 kilometers, ideal for daily commutes or short journeys. This dual-fuel setup slashes fuel expenses and lowers emissions, making it perfect for environmentally conscious riders.
Strong and Fuel-Efficient Engine
Equipped with a 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the scooter generates 7.2 horsepower and 9.4 Nm of torque. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it achieves a top speed of 80.5 kilometers per hour. Though slightly less powerful than its petrol-only counterpart, itโs tailored for smooth urban rides. The engine features TVSโs eco-thrust fuel injection and intelliGO start-stop technology, enhancing fuel economy while maintaining reliable performance.
Sleek Design with Practical Features
The Jupiter 125 CNG mirrors the stylish look of its petrol version, distinguished by CNG badges on the sides and front apron. It sports a modern LED headlight, a semi-digital dashboard, and the largest seat in the 125cc category for maximum comfort. Key features include:
- A USB charging port for smartphones
- A single lock for ignition, seat, and fuel cap
- A side stand indicator with engine cut-off
- An external petrol filler for convenient refueling
While the CNG tank reduces under-seat storage, a front glove box provides space for essentials like a phone or wallet.
