TVS Jupiter 125 CNG: Expected Launch, Specs & Price 

Key Takeaways

• The TVS Jupiter 125 CNG is currently in its production and testing phase. While TVS Motors showcased the CNG concept as the world’s first-ever CNG scooter at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, it has yet to announce the official launch date. As several automotive reports speculate, the two-wheeler will arrive at showrooms in the last quarter of 2026 or at the beginning of 2027. 
• The Jupiter 125 CNG official price is not out yet. But TVS Motors may launch the vehicle at an affordable introductory price, ranging from ₹85,000 to ₹1 lakh.
• TVS Motors has confirmed that the new CNG concept uses a 1.4 kg bi-fuel cylinder and a smaller tank, allowing riders to switch from gas to petrol mode.
• As TVS Motors claims, the Jupiter 125 CNG offers 84 km/kg mileage and a combined range of 226 km, keeping daily running costs low and easily manageable. 
• The biggest disadvantage is the boot space under the main seat. The CNG cylinder built under the seat takes up a lot of space and doesn’t offer a storage unit for riders to keep basic items, such as a grocery bag, backpack, or a helmet. 

Has the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG Launched Yet?

The CNG version of the TVS Jupiter 125 has not launched in India yet. TVS Motors officially presented it as the Jupiter CNG Concept, rather than a production scooter, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The manufacturer is yet to announce an official launch date for the two-wheeler. But industry reports across major automotive portals suggest this new TVS Jupiter 125 will hit the showroom floors in late 2026 or early 2027. 

As the world’s first-ever CNG scooter, the it will be a game-changer, significantly cutting down daily commuting running costs while delivering exceptional mileage of up to 84 km/kg (claimed). 

What is Confirmed About the CNG Variant of TVS Jupiter 125? 

The prototype showcased by TV Motors confirms clear, specific details about the vehicle’s build and mechanism: engine capacity, dual-fuel unit, claimed CNG mileage and range.

• Dual-Fuel Engine: The prototype runs on a 124.88 cc single-cylinder CNG engine that can switch to petrol mode, providing riders with a backup option when natural gas runs out.
• Mileage & Range: TVS Motors claims that the scooter delivers an impressive mileage of up to 84 km/kg and a total range of 226 km. 
• Power & Torque: The showcased CNG model produces around 7.1–7.2 hp at 6,000 rpm and 9.4 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, as claimed by TVS Motors at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. 
• CNG Tank Placement: The prototype features a 1.4 kg CNG cylinder strategically placed under the seat to maximize space and maintain balance. The fuel tank has a protective structural casing to shield it against road debris or crashes. 
• Backup Petrol Tank: The TVS Jupiter 125 CNG comes with a small 2-litre petrol tank built directly into the floorboard that serves as backup fuel when the main tank runs out of CNG. This will ensure riders are not stuck on the road. 
• Compromised Bootspace: Unlike its older petrol variant, which has a 33-litre storage compartment, the CNG variant of the TVS Jupiter 125 has a much larger tank (1.4 kg), leaving very little space to store personal belongings or daily essentials. 
• Retained Ergonomics: The new CNG variant retains overall styling, telescopic front suspension, alloy wheels, and an upright seating position identical to its standard petrol Jupiter 125 variant. 

What’s Still Just Speculation About TVS Jupiter 125 CNG

Since the CNG version of the scooter's prototype is currently in its testing phase and has yet to make its appearance in the market, the official launch date, ex-showroom pricing, and availability remain speculative. 

• Expected Launch Date: The TVS Jupiter 125 CNG launch date in India remains unknown so far. TVS Motors has not announced the official timeline publicly. But multiple reliable sources indicate the CNG variant may launch in late 2026 or early 2027. More details regarding booking and delivery across major showrooms will be available after the launch.
• Estimated Ex-Showroom Price: While TVS Motors will announce the actual showroom pricing following the launch of the scooter model, industry estimates indicate a price range between ₹85,000 and ₹1,00,000. If this estimate turns out to be true, the CNG variant will fall under the category of scooters priced under ₹1 lakh. 
• Region-Wise Availability: Post-launch availability of the new CNG TVS Jupiter is not known yet. Practically, the scooter is will be available in major cities with established CNG refuelling networks, such as Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Surat, and Lucknow. 

How Does the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG Compare to Its Petrol Variant?

The TVS Jupiter CNG concept has a clear potential advantage and a limitation. Its claimed 84 km/kg fuel efficiency could reduce running costs when commuting daily in city traffic. But the lack of an underseat storage unit could pose a major inconvenience for regular office commuters.

Why the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG Matters

As and when launched, the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG will emerge as the world’s first factory-fitted CNG scooter. Fitting a high-pressure CNG tank into a step-through scooter is much harder than putting one on a bike. Since scooters are more compact, safely tucking a 1.4 kg cylinder right beneath the seat while keeping the vehicle steady and easy to ride is a huge engineering achievement. 

For city commuters, a CNG-concept scooter comes as a smart alternative to both petrol variants and EVs. It lowers daily running costs while allowing you to skip long wait times to get the vehicle charged up. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How will refuelling work for both CNG and petrol on this dual-fuel setup? 

The TVS Jupiter 125 CNG prototype has two fuelling ports. The main CNG nozzle is built under a flap near the seat for quick filling, while the backup petrol tank is located right next to the front floorboard, much like the standard Jupiter 125. 

Will the underseat CNG cylinder affect the scooter's handling or ground clearance? 

No, the Jupiter 125 CNG prototype is designed to keep the scooter perfectly balanced and low. The 1.4 kg cylinder is safely hidden away, ensuring the seat height, ground clearance and handling feel exactly like the petrol variant.  

Can the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG start directly on CNG, or does it require petrol to start?

TVS claims the Jupiter 125 CNG prototype can switch comfortably between gas and petrol mode. It is not sure whether it must run on petrol or start directly on CNG is not detailed publicly since it was showcased as a concept. 

How does the running cost of the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG compare to an electric scooter (EV)? 

Although electric scooters offer a lower cost per kilometre compared to CNG scooters, they require regular plug-in charging that takes several hours. CNG scooters eliminate long charging hours, offering instant refills at gas stations. 

Will the CNG variant of the TVS Jupiter 125 be suitable for daily city commuting? 

The CNG concept is specifically designed for city commuters, offering lower running costs and a secondary petrol tank as backup. But the lack of underseat storage space could be a practical drawback for daily commuters and office-goers.
