TVS Jupiter CNG Varient : TVS Motor has stirred excitement with the Jupiter CNG variant, unveiled as the world’s first CNG-powered scooter at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025.

This dual-fuel beast builds on the beloved Jupiter 125 platform, promising massive savings amid soaring petrol prices – a boon for daily commuters in bustling Indian cities.

Set for a potential 2026 launch around ₹90,000-₹95,000, it’s poised to challenge Bajaj Freedom while keeping that family-friendly Jupiter vibe.​

Roots of the Revolution: Why CNG for Jupiter Now?

The original TVS Jupiter has ruled scooter sales since 2006, with over 5 million units sold thanks to its reliability and comfort.

Now, with CNG stations exploding to 7,000+ across India, TVS jumps into the green fray after Bajaj’s Freedom bike.

Unveiled in near-production form, the Jupiter CNG swaps under-seat storage for a 1.4kg CNG tank, prioritizing fuel economy over boot space.

It’s timed perfectly for 2026’s festive season, targeting budget riders hit by ₹100+ petrol.​

Design That Feels Familiar Yet Fresh

Spot the Jupiter CNG in traffic, and you’d swear it’s the standard 125 – same sleek curves, LED headlamp, and chrome accents in colors like Pristine White or Matte Black.

The magic hides underneath: a compact CNG cylinder tucked under the seat, shielded by plastic with a visible pressure gauge and front filler nozzle.

A 2-litre petrol tank sits floorboard-mounted for seamless switching, maintaining the apron filler like regular Jupiters.

Weighing around 106kg, it promises easy handling for urban dodges, though boot-less means helmet on hooks.​

Powertrain Punch: Dual Fuel, Epic Range

Heart of the beast is a detuned 124.8cc single-cylinder engine churning 7.2 PS at 6,000rpm and 9.4Nm torque – slightly less peppy than petrol’s 8 PS for efficiency.

Paired with CVT automatic and belt drive, it hits 80kmph top speed, fine for city sprints. TVS claims 84km per kg CNG – that’s pennies per km – plus 226km total range with petrol backup.

IntelliGO tech cuts idle fuel waste, while BS6 Phase 2 compliance keeps emissions low. Real-world? Expect 70-80km/kg in mixed traffic, slashing costs 50% vs petrol.​

Ride Quality and Everyday Practicality

Ride like the classic Jupiter: telescopic forks up front, adjustable rear shocks for pothole-battered roads, and tubeless tyres on alloy wheels for grip.

Braking mixes drum setups, with side-stand cut-off for safety. Features shine with analogue-digital console showing speedo, odo, fuel gauge, and CNG levels; low-fuel alerts prevent stranding.

USB charging, carry hook, and passenger footrest keep it family-ready, though no Bluetooth yet. Perfect for Haryana’s dusty lanes or Delhi commutes, where CNG rules.​

Price, Rivals, and Market Buzz in India

Ex-showroom starting at ₹90,000-₹95,000 undercuts rivals like Honda Activa (₹75k petrol) while offering dual-fuel edge.

No direct scooter foes yet – Bajaj Freedom CNG bike is closest, but Jupiter’s scooter ergonomics win for pillions. On-road in Delhi? Around ₹1 lakh post-subsidy.

Buzz from expos hints Q1 2026 launch, with test rides soon. TVS loyalists praise mileage; critics note storage sacrifice.​

Why This Variant Wins Hearts (and Wallets)

For middle-class families, the Jupiter CNG means fewer fuel stops and greener rides without electric hassles.

Running costs? CNG at ₹80/kg vs petrol ₹100/litre – daily 50km saves ₹200 weekly. Drawbacks like refuel queues exist, but expanding infra helps.

Compared to EVs like iQube, it’s cheaper upfront and station-agnostic. TVS’s service network seals it for worry-free ownership.​
