TVS Motor Company has unveiled the world’s first CNG-powered scooter, the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG, at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Set to launch in India around October 2025, this eco-friendly scooter promises an impressive mileage of 84 km per kg of CNG and a combined range of 226 km with its bi-fuel system. Priced between ₹95,000 and ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s a budget-friendly option for daily commuters. With rising fuel prices, this scooter is a game-changer for city riders looking to save money and reduce pollution.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Saving
The TVS Jupiter CNG is a big step toward cleaner travel. It runs on both CNG and petrol, letting riders switch between fuels with a simple button on the switchgear. The 1.4 kg CNG tank, placed under the seat, offers 84 km per kg, while a 2-litre petrol tank in the floorboard adds extra range. Together, they deliver a total range of 226 km, perfect for daily commutes or short trips. This bi-fuel system cuts fuel costs and reduces emissions, making it ideal for eco-conscious riders.
Powerful Yet Efficient Engine
The scooter is powered by a 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, producing 7.2 horsepower and 9.4 Nm of torque. Paired with a CVT automatic gearbox, it reaches a top speed of 80.5 kmph. While slightly less powerful than the petrol-only Jupiter 125, it’s designed for smooth city rides. The engine uses TVS’s eco-thrust fuel injection and intelliGO start-stop technology, boosting fuel efficiency and making every ride economical without losing performance.
Stylish Design with Practical Features
The Jupiter 125 CNG looks almost identical to its petrol version, with CNG badging on the sides and front apron. It features a sleek LED headlamp, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and a large, comfortable seat, the biggest in the 125cc segment. Other highlights include:
- USB charging port for your phone
- All-in-one lock for ignition, seat, and fuel cap
- Side stand indicator with engine cut-off
- External petrol filler for easy refueling
The CNG tank under the seat takes up storage space, but a front glove box offers room for small items like a phone or wallet.
