Design & Looks
The CNG model keeps the familiar Jupiter silhouette – sleek body, LED headlamp and spacious under‑seat storage. The only visual cue is a small CNG badge on the fuel tank, so owners won’t feel they’re riding a “special edition”. I tried the prototype on a city commute; the ride felt just as smooth as the petrol version.

Performance & Mileage
Powered by a 124cc air‑cooled engine tuned for CNG, the scooter delivers about 55 km/kg (≈ 20 km/l) – a notable jump from the 45 km/l petrol figure. Acceleration is slightly slower, but the torque curve feels peppy enough for stop‑and‑go traffic.
Price & Rivals
TVS is expected to price the CNG Jupiter around ₹55,000 (ex‑showroom), making it competitive against the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG and the petrol Jupiter’s ₹48,000 baseline. The lower fuel price should offset the modest premium within a year of daily use.
