At the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, TVS Motor Company introduced the Jupiter CNG scooter, marking its entry into the alternative fuel segment. This model closely resembles the existing Jupiter 125 but incorporates a compressed natural gas (CNG) system.
Key Specifications:
CNG Storage: A 1.4 kg (9.5 liters) CNG cylinder is positioned beneath the seat, eliminating under-seat storage.
Engine Performance: The 124.8cc single-cylinder engine delivers 7.2 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 9.4 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, slightly reduced from the petrol-only Jupiter 125's 8.1 horsepower and 10.5 Nm.
Fuel Efficiency and Range: TVS claims a mileage of 84 km/kg for CNG, with a combined petrol and CNG range of approximately 226 km.
Top Speed: The scooter is reported to reach speeds up to 80.5 km/h.
Design and Features:
The Jupiter CNG maintains the aesthetic of the Jupiter 125, distinguished only by a CNG sticker on the front. Features include a digital-analog display, a front apron cubby with a USB charger, and start/stop technology.
Pricing:
While the petrol variant of the Jupiter 125 is priced between ₹79,540 and ₹90,721 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Jupiter CNG is anticipated to be in a similar price range, potentially slightly higher.
This launch underscores TVS's commitment to offering environmentally friendly transportation options, expanding choices for consumers seeking alternative fuel vehicles.
