TVS Jupiter CNG Scooter In The Works: Will Be World’s First CNG Scooter
The CNG scooter could be launched by next year, with production possibility starting in September or October 2024
- With the Bajaj Freedom 125 launch more Indian two-wheeler manufacturers are working on CNG two-wheelers
- TVS has been working on a CNG powertrain for a while now
- It is likely to be integrated into the TVS Jupiter 125
TVS is working on a CNG Scooter based on the Jupiter 125, according to an online report. The brand had been working on a CNG powertrain along with other alternative fuel technologies and now with the Bajaj Freedom 125’s launch, it is only natural that TVS also wants to get into the CNG two-wheeler segment.
The report says that work on the CNG scooter, project codename U720 has already begun and the scooter's production is likely to begin by September or October 2024. The CNG scooter could likely be launched by the end of 2024 or first half of 2025.
The Jupiter CNG Scooter is likely to be powered by a 125cc engine and could feature a similar hybrid petrol-CNG powertrain as the recently launched Bajaj Freedom 125. It could likely offer similar performance as that of a 110cc petrol-powered scooter.
CNG bikes and scooters will likely be a good middle-ground between petrol powered and EV two-wheelers, and also promises to offer lowered energy costs when compared to an equivalent petrol powered two-wheeler. The Freedom 125 with its 2kg CNG tank and 2-litre petrol tanks offers a claimed range of around 330km. We have done a detailed analysis of the mileage claims here.
Once launched, the TVS CNG scooter will be the world’s first CNG scooter and also India’s second CNG two-wheeler. It won’t have any natural rivals but will go up against other 110cc scooters in the market such as the Hero Xoom 110, Honda Activa 6G and the Honda Dio.

- Instant Liking Turned into a PurchaseI saw Jupiter 125 at mall and instantly liked the looks. I was searching for scooter that could be used by both me and my dad. He liked the seat height and I liked the digital display and colors. After a test ride we both agreed to buy it. It rides like a dream. Smooth on turns, light in traffic and gives very good mileage. Dad uses it for morning errands and I use it for college. Once we forgot to check fuel but it still went 10 km more. Very helpful scooter. Yes it is good scooter for all ages. It has smart features and rides well. My father who is 65 rides it with no issues. Safe, reliable and easy to maintain. TVS really made a great family scooter with this model.Read More
- Needed Comfort and Got It AllMy old scooter was the small and uncomfortable. I wanted scooter with space, comfort and easy fuel access. Jupiter 125 had all three. I saw few YouTube reviews and went to see it. I liked how it looked and how simple it was to ride. It is perfect. The best part is I do not have to open the seat to fill petrol. I carry my helmet, bag and lunchbox under the seat. Once I rode it to a wedding 45 km away and it did not feel hard at all. Smooth on highway and traffic both. I already told two of my friends and they are planning to buy it. It is not just scooter it feels like smart helper. If you want comfort and strong performance this is the one. Super happy with this scooter.Read More1
- Smooth Ride and Great MileageI bought Jupiter 125 after my friend told me about the mileage and smooth ride. I had smaller scooter before and needed something stronger. This looked stylish and useful for my long daily travel. The test ride convinced me quickly. The experience is great. It does not feel tired or slow. One time I had a pillion and still it climbed a steep road easily. The pickup is good and it never gave me any starting problem. I trust it fully now. Yes 100% recommend it. Best for city rides and even for long ones. Smooth engine, big storage and comfortable seat. I have been using it for months and never faced any issue. TVS has done good job with this one.Read More2 1
- Features That Fit My Daily NeedsI chose this bike because of the features. I liked the front fuel tank and large storage space. I often carry groceries and other items. This scooter made my life easier. TVS has good name and I have used their bikes before so I trusted them. So far the ride is excellent. Very comfortable on bumpy roads. The tyres have good grip. I once rode during heavy rain and did not feel any slip. It handles turns well and the brakes are strong. The engine is quiet and smooth. Yes I already suggested it to my neighbours. If you want a solid scooter with extra features go for this one. It is good buy. Worth the money. Even after riding daily it feels new. Great scooter from TVS.Read More
