TVS Jupiter CNG : TVS Motor is about to shatter two-wheeler norms with the Jupiter CNG, billed as the planet’s pioneering CNG-powered scooter, eyeing a blockbuster 2026 debut in India.
Spotted in concept glory at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, this bi-fuel wizard targets cash-strapped commuters with a jaw-dropping 84 km/kg on CNG, backed by a petrol fallback for 226km total range—running costs plummet to ₹1/km amid petrol’s nosebleed prices.
Priced at ₹95,000-₹1.1 lakh (ex-showroom), it rides the Jupiter 125’s bulletproof platform, challenging Honda Activa and Hero Pleasure in a green revolution where CNG stations multiply like chai stalls.
Revolutionary Bi-Fuel Engine Setup
Power comes from a tweaked 124.8cc air-cooled single-cylinder mill, dialed to 7.2 PS at 6000rpm and 9.4 Nm at 5500rpm—mildly detuned from petrol’s 8 PS/10.5 Nm but zippy via CVT auto for 80 kmph top-end and brisk city darts.
The hero is a sleek 1.4kg CNG tank snug under the seat, shielded by plastic with a gauge peek-hole and side filler—no boot space sacrificed visually, though storage shrinks.
Floorboard hides a 2L petrol tank with apron nozzle; a handlebar switch flips fuels instantly, IntelliGO idle-stop tech stretches every puff. Real-world buzz hints 70-80 km/kg urban, perfect for delivery hustles or office slogs without station hunts.

Rugged Yet Comfy Chassis for Indian Chaos
Jupiter DNA shines: steel underbone frame, 12-inch alloy wheels wrapped in tubeless 90/90 tires, 185mm ground clearance dodging sewers and speed-breakers.
Telescopic forks front, adjustable twin shocks rear absorb pothole pummels; front disc/drum rear with CBS bites safely.
LED headlamp, DRLs, and analogue-digital console flash speedo, odo, fuel gauge, CNG pressure, low-fuel alerts, and side-stand cut-off.
Single grabrail seat comfy for pillion duos, external fuel caps keep gloves clean—Matte Grey or Pearl White paint jobs scream practical premium without bling overload.
Smart Features for Modern Riders
Don’t sleep on the kit: Bluetooth dash pairs phones for calls, SMS, nav turns; USB port juices gadgets mid-ride. Pass light, engine kill-switch, and maintenance-free battery add hassle-free vibes; TVS app teases geo-tracking, theft alerts, remote diagnostics.
Reinforced apron guards the CNG setup crash-proof, belt drive whispers quietly—moms love the low center of gravity for school drops, uncles dig torque for loaded veggie runs.
At 100-110kg kerb, 5.2m turning circle threads bazaar snarls like a pro, proving family scootering just got thriftier.
Green Perks and Wallet Wins
CNG torches emissions 40% below petrol, dodging odd-even bans and scoring subsidies—expect ₹10-15k govt rebates. Math slays: ₹2.5/km blended vs ₹6+ rivals, pocketing ₹40-50k over 40,000km for cab drivers or homemakers.
No range panic with petrol limp-mode; stations exploding to 7,000 nationwide by 2026. Forums froth “Activa’s funeral,” griping only boot loss—hooks and floorboard nooks compensate for helmets, bags.
