TVS is gearing up to reshape India’s two-wheeler market with a bold, fuel-efficient innovation—the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG. As fuel costs soar, commuters are on the hunt for smarter, more economical ways to get around. Enter the Jupiter 125 CNG, the country’s first mass-market scooter that runs on both CNG and petrol, offering substantial savings without compromising on comfort, range, or performance.
Let’s explore how this dual-fuel scooter is set to revolutionize urban mobility in India.
Dual-Fuel Power: Efficiency Meets Convenience
At the heart of the Jupiter 125 CNG is a 124.8cc engine designed to operate seamlessly on both Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and petrol. Riders can switch between the two fuels based on availability and convenience, with the scooter intelligently defaulting to petrol if the CNG supply runs out. This makes it ideal for Indian roads where CNG availability can vary by region.
TVS has managed to integrate the CNG tank under the seat without disturbing the scooter’s balance or comfort, maintaining the smooth ride that Jupiter fans are used to.
Impressive Mileage and Range
What sets the Jupiter 125 CNG apart is its outstanding fuel efficiency. Here’s what to expect:
| Fuel Type | Mileage | Fuel Tank Capacity | Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNG | 84 km/kg | Approx. 1.5 kg | ~126 km |
| Petrol | 50-55 km/l | 5.1 liters | ~100 km |
| Combined | – | – | ~226 km |
With the ability to go over 220 kilometers on a full CNG and petrol tank, this scooter easily covers a full week of commuting for most users. Imagine riding from Mumbai to Pune without needing a refill!
Smart Features for Everyday Riders
TVS hasn’t stripped down the Jupiter 125 CNG to make it affordable—it’s loaded with all the comfort and tech from the regular Jupiter, plus some thoughtful upgrades:
- LED headlamps for enhanced night visibility
- Digital speedometer with integrated fuel selector
- Drum brakes with optional front disc for added safety
- Comfortable wide seat suited for long rides
- Sleek design with subtle CNG badging
TVS ensures that even with the CNG tank installed, the scooter retains its classic styling and underseat practicality. For daily riders, it’s business as usual—with major fuel savings as a bonus.
Cost vs. Savings: Will It Be Worth It?
Expected to launch in mid-2025, the Jupiter 125 CNG will be priced around ₹90,000 to ₹1,00,000—slightly more than the petrol version. But with CNG costing about half the price of petrol, regular riders could recoup the premium within a year through savings on fuel alone.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Metric | Petrol Scooter | Jupiter 125 CNG |
|---|---|---|
| Avg. fuel cost/km | ₹2.10 | ₹1.00 |
| Monthly travel (900 km) | ₹1,890 | ₹900 |
| Annual fuel cost | ₹22,680 | ₹10,800 |
| Annual savings | – | ₹11,880 |
These savings make it especially appealing to daily commuters, delivery personnel, and budget-conscious Indian families.
Environment-Friendly and Practical
Apart from saving money, the CNG-powered engine emits significantly fewer pollutants compared to petrol, making it a great step toward cleaner mobility. For users who want to reduce their carbon footprint but still need the flexibility of petrol, this scooter strikes the perfect balance.
No range anxiety, no fear of getting stranded, and no need to compromise your riding experience.
TVS has delivered a truly practical and timely innovation with the Jupiter 125 CNG. By combining affordability, sustainability, and everyday usability, this scooter could mark a turning point in India’s two-wheeler segment.
