The Buzz in the Indian Automobile Market: Why CNG Now?

India’s two-wheeler market is booming, with more than 17 million units expected to be sold in FY 2024-25, but the rise in petrol prices – now hovering around ₹100/litre – and growing emission norms have turned buyers to alternatives. Electric scooters are still too nascent in the schemes with the likes of the TVS iQube and Ola S1 claiming a 5% share, but infrastructure is yet to catch up in tier-2 cities. CNG, already popular in cars of Maruti Suzuki and Tata, is now making inroads into bikes – think Bajaj Freedom 125, the first CNG motorcycle launched in 2024. TVS, which has a 40% share of the scooter market through its Jupiter brand (over 6 million units sold since 2006), saw an opportunity to innovate. The TVS Jupiter CNG 2025 arrives at a bread-and-butter time. Government incentives to promote CNG vehicles such as lowered road taxes in states like Delhi and Maharashtra, coupled with a constantly enlarging CNG stations network (more than 7,000 nationwide as of 2025), make it a viable option. In urban centers such as Mumbai and Pune, where the majority of residents who use scooters for travel do so for lesser distances of about 50 km, this scooter has an advantage with dual fuel-based flexibility (CNG + 2L petrol backup). Competitors? The Honda Activa 6G (sells for ₹78,000, 50 kmpl petrol) leads sales but does not have CNG’s impressive 84 km/kg efficiency. Almost as good is Suzuki Access 125 (at ₹80,000), but TVS pushes ahead with its eco-credentials and combined 226 km range. Buzz from the Expo suggests that early pre-bookings could touch 50,000 by Diwali; future of rides looks sustainable and cost-effective.

Design and Build: Familiar Yet Forward-Thinking

In the year 2025, the family-looking TVS Jupiter CNG is just like the Jupiter 125 but maintains immediate familiarity for loyalists. Dimensions: 1,848 mm long by 681 mm wide and 1,286 mm tall with a seat height of 765 mm for accessibility to riders from 5’2″ to 6’2″. The steel tubular frame reinforced to support the 1.4 kg CNG tank tips the scales at 109 kg (kerb) – just heavier than petrol variant but nimble handling preserved. The front has sleek apron-mounted LED headlamp with halogen turn indicators giving a premium glow while the side panels sport CNG badging in matte black or pearl white. It has varied color options in Titanium Grey, Pristine White, Dawn Orange, and IndiBlue-designed to be vibrant but practical enough for city scuffs. Long cushioned seat at 775 mm can accommodate pillion with long underseat storage with 33 liters (not bad for accommodating CNG tank), and can store a full-face helmet and groceries. Ground clearance at 163 mm goes over speed bumps, while 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres at 90/90 provide stability at 80 kmph tops. What makes it different? The CNG tank is neatly tucked under the floorboard and does not take up any of the boot space, unlike aftermarket kits. The engineering has also been done by TVS to ensure that it passes the strict AIS-156 safety norms with regard to CNG, the burst pressure is rated at 300 bar. In an otherwise crowded market of bland commuters, the retro-modern look – think chrome accents and LED tail lamp – of this scooter also appeals to the 25-45 age group, combining style with substance.

Powertrain and Performance: Efficient Dual-Fuel Magic

Under the hood, the TVS Jupiter CNG 2025 packs a BS6 Phase 2-compliant 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, retuned for CNG. It delivers a modest 7.2 PS (5.3 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 9.4 Nm at 3,500 rpm – down slightly from the petrol’s 8 PS due to CNG’s lower energy density, but punchy enough for urban zips. Paired with a seamless CVT automatic, it accelerates from 0-40 kmph in 5 seconds, ideal for stop-go traffic. The star is the dual-fuel system: a 1.4 kg CNG tank (at 200 bar) yields 84 km/kg (ARAI), while the 2L petrol reserve adds 65 km/litre – total range: 226 km on a fill-up. Real-world tests at the Expo clocked 75-80 km/kg in mixed conditions, slashing costs to ₹0.80/km versus ₹2.5/km on petrol. A dashboard switch toggles modes instantly, with petrol kicking in if CNG dips below 10%. Refueling? Just 2 minutes at a station, cheaper than EVs’ home charging.Braking is confident with a 130 mm drum upfront and 110 mm rear, aided by Synchronized Braking System (SBS) for 20% shorter stops. Suspension – telescopic forks and twin shocks – soaks up potholes better than rivals, scoring high in comfort tests. In the automobile market, where Bajaj Freedom 125’s CNG bike claims 102 km/kg, TVS counters with scooter practicality, targeting 30% lower emissions (CO2 down 25% vs petrol).

Features and Tech: Smart, Safe, Connected

There has been no compromise on features in the TVS Jupiter CNG 2025. It displays a semi-digital console with information on CNG pressure, fuel gauge, odometer, trip meter, and service reminders. Bluetooth features integrated through the SmartXonnect app relay call/SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and ride analytics-a first for any CNG scooter. CNG External fuel filling, so you don’t have to fumble with a fuel cap, and a USB charger keep you powered. In terms of safety, an engine immobilizer, side-stand cut-off, and optional tubeless tyres with puncture repair kit shine. The higher trims add a parking brake and hazard lights. For families, the pillion grab rails and footboard design ensures that you have a secure ride. In a segment where features are basic, offering LED lighting as standard (with DRLs being just one of the features) is one premium feeling that the TVS enjoys on the Activa, which gets halogens all around.

Market Positioning: Price, Rivals, and Buying Advice

It compares to the price of a petrol scooter, but the upfront cost is offset by the running cost being a bit more than half of the petrol cost. The TVS Jupiter CNG 2025 is available at ₹90,000-₹1,00,000 entry fee for the Ather 450X EVs at ₹1.3 lakh. Variants? Base Drum is the cheapest for essentials, whereas the top is Disc with alloys at ₹98k for flair. On-road Delhi: ₹1.05-1.15 lakh with EMI from ₹2,500/month. With CNG-specific kits under a 5-year warranty, 4,000+ dealerships ensure easy service. Rivals pale: The Honda Activa (50 kmpl, 78,000 rupees) guzzles more fuel, while the Suzuki Access (52 kmpl, 80,000 rupees) does not have dual-fuel capabilities. The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG bike costs 95k, provides 330 kilometers range, is too much bikey, not really scootery. TVS aims for 1 lakh units in Year 1 on Jupiter’s 20% market share. Pros: Eco-thrifty, roomy, reliable. Cons: CNG dependency (urban fix) power drop. Verdict? Best for commuting be saving ₹5,000/year as fuel.
