The TVS Jupiter has long been a household name in India, standing as one of the strongest competitors to the Honda Activa. As we move into 2026, TVS Motor Company is not just maintaining this legacy but is actively evolving the Jupiter lineup to meet the needs of the modern Indian commuter. With the recent success of the refreshed Jupiter 110 and the growing anticipation for the world’s first factory-fitted CNG scooter, the Jupiter brand is more relevant than ever.
This article covers the latest updates on the TVS Jupiter series, including the 110cc and 125cc variants, the highly anticipated CNG model, and what buyers can expect in terms of pricing and features this year.
The 2026 TVS Jupiter 110: Smart and Fuel-Efficient
The Jupiter 110 recently underwent a major design overhaul, moving away from its traditional look to a more “futuristic” aesthetic. It now features an LED light bar that spans the front and rear, giving it a premium road presence. Beyond looks, the 2026 model focuses heavily on “iGO Assist” technology. This micro-hybrid system provides a temporary torque boost during overtaking, which also helps improve fuel efficiency by roughly 10%.
One of the standout features of the current Jupiter 110 is its 33-liter under-seat storage. By moving the fuel tank under the floorboard and placing the fuel filler cap on the front apron, TVS has managed to provide enough space for two half-face helmets—a first for the 110cc segment.
Anticipation Builds for the TVS Jupiter CNG
The biggest buzz in the Indian two-wheeler market for 2026 is the expected launch of the TVS Jupiter CNG. Unveiled as a concept at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, this model aims to be a game-changer for high-mileage users like delivery partners and long-distance daily commuters.
The Jupiter CNG is expected to feature a 1.4kg CNG tank tucked neatly under the seat and a small 2-liter petrol tank for emergency backups. Early reports suggest a running cost of less than Re 1 per kilometer, making it significantly cheaper to operate than any petrol-powered scooter. While the launch was initially teased for late 2025, industry insiders point toward a formal market entry in the first half of 2026, specifically targeting metro cities where CNG pumps are widely available.
TVS Jupiter 125: For Those Who Want More Power
While the 110cc model is the volume driver, the Jupiter 125 remains the choice for riders who need more “grunt” for pillion riding or highway stretches. The 125cc variant distinguishes itself with a more classic design, featuring chrome accents and a sturdier metal body.
Technically, the 125cc engine delivers about 8.15 PS and 10.5 Nm of torque. It shares the innovative floorboard-mounted fuel tank design with the 110, ensuring that practicality isn’t sacrificed for performance. In 2026, the Jupiter 125 continues to offer the “SmartXonnect” system, which provides turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts on a digital-analog console.
Safety and Technology Upgrades
TVS has integrated several “segment-first” safety features into the 2026 Jupiter lineup to stay ahead of the competition:
- Emergency Brake Warning: The tail lamp flashes rapidly during sudden braking to alert vehicles behind.
- Follow-Me Headlamp: The LED headlight stays on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned off, lighting your path in dark parking spots.
- Turn Signal Reset: The indicators automatically turn off after a turn is completed, preventing the common mistake of leaving them on.
Pricing and Market Impact in India
As of early 2026, the TVS Jupiter 110 starts at approximately â‚ą74,000 (ex-showroom), while the Jupiter 125 is priced slightly higher, starting around â‚ą86,000. The upcoming CNG variant is expected to carry a premium, likely priced between â‚ą90,000 and â‚ą1,00,000, which users can recover through fuel savings within the first year of ownership.
The Jupiter’s growth is a key reason why TVS Motor Company reported over 25% growth in scooter sales at the end of last year. By offering a range that includes basic petrol, hybrid-assist, and soon CNG, TVS is covering every possible customer segment in India’s diverse market.
