Big news for scooter lovers in India! TVS Motor Company has launched the world’s first CNG-powered scooter, the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG, at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. This eco-friendly scooter promises an amazing mileage of 84 km per kg of CNG, making it a game-changer for daily commuters. With fuel prices rising, this scooter offers a cheaper and greener way to travel. Set to hit the market around October 2025, the Jupiter CNG is already creating a buzz among riders looking to save money and help the environment.
What Makes the Jupiter CNG Special?
The TVS Jupiter CNG is the first scooter in the world to run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), a cleaner and cheaper fuel than petrol. It has a dual-fuel system, letting riders switch between CNG and petrol with a simple button. The scooter comes with a 1.4 kg CNG tank under the seat and a 2-litre petrol tank on the floorboard, giving a total range of 226 km. This makes it perfect for city rides and short trips without frequent refueling. The design is almost the same as the regular Jupiter 125, but with CNG badges to show its unique feature.
Impressive Features and Performance
The Jupiter CNG is powered by a 124.8cc single-cylinder engine, producing 7.2 horsepower and 9.4 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT automatic gearbox. It can reach a top speed of 80.5 kmph, ideal for city commuting. The scooter keeps the same look, comfort, and features as the petrol version, including an LED headlamp, semi-digital display, USB charger, and the largest seat in its class. However, the CNG tank takes up most under-seat storage, leaving space only for small items in a front glove box.

Why Choose a CNG Scooter?
CNG is much cheaper than petrol, costing about ₹1 per km to run, making it a great choice for budget-conscious riders. It also burns cleaner, cutting down pollution by 20-25% compared to petrol, which is a big win for the environment. With CNG stations common in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad, refueling is easy in urban areas. The dual-fuel system means you can switch to petrol in places where CNG isn’t available, so you’re never stuck. This scooter is a smart mix of savings, convenience, and green travel.
When and Where to Get It
TVS plans to launch the Jupiter CNG around October 2025, likely during the festive season, with an expected price between ₹90,000 and ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom). This is slightly higher than the petrol Jupiter 125, but the fuel savings make it worth it over time. The scooter will first roll out in cities with good CNG station networks. Rural areas may face challenges due to fewer CNG pumps, but the petrol option keeps it versatile. Interested buyers can check updates on TVS’s official website or at local dealerships.
A Step Toward Greener Roads
The TVS Jupiter CNG is a bold move toward sustainable travel in India, following the success of the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle. With no other CNG scooters in the market, TVS has a head start in this new segment. It’s perfect for students, office-goers, or anyone tired of high fuel costs. By offering style, performance, and eco-friendly features, the Jupiter CNG could change how Indians ride. Keep an eye out for its launch and get ready to ride smarter and greener.
