Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
Ex-showroom Delhi, the Jupiter 125 range runs from ₹80,000 (Drum) to ₹92,000 (Disc SXC) across 3 variants. The extra ₹12,000 buys 220 mm front disc, bluetooth console and usb charger.
That makes it priced 12th lowest among the 26 petrol scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Fascino 125 (₹1,264 more) and the Xoom (₹1,697 less).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹92,800 for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Drum Steel wheels · External fuel filler | ₹80,000 | |
Drum Alloy Alloy wheels · Digital console | ₹85,000 | |
Disc SXC 220 mm front disc · Bluetooth console · USB charger | ₹92,000 |
Mileage
Expect 42–50 kmpl from the Jupiter 125 in everyday use against a claimed mileage of 50 kmpl. The 8% gap is smaller than most rivals manage.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks 8th for mileage, 1 kmpl above the group average of 49 kmpl.
Engine and ride
Power comes from a 125cc single producing 8.15 bhp and 10.5 Nm, paired with a CVT automatic. At 108 kg the power-to-weight figure is 75 bhp per tonne, which ranks 17 of 25 in its class here.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.
Chassis hardware includes a combi-brake system, with a 220 mm disc / 130 mm drum up front and 130 mm drum at the rear.
Seat height is a low 770 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Jupiter 125 is the scooter that makes the Activa look under-equipped. TVS moved the fuel tank under the floorboard, and that single decision gave it the biggest boot in the class.
Riding it every day
The 125cc engine's 10.5 Nm of torque is the reason to pick this over a 110: with a pillion on board it climbs flyovers without slowing to a crawl. Refinement is good, not Honda good; there is a mild buzz through the floorboard at 60 km/h. Mileage of 45–52 kmpl is on par with the segment.
Where it wins outright is practicality. The 33-litre boot swallows two half-face helmets, the floorboard has a hook and a front cubby holds a phone and bottle, and the 12-inch rear wheel makes broken roads far less jarring than on 10-inch rivals.
What to know before buying
The Disc SXC variant is the one to buy if you can stretch to it: the 220 mm front disc, Bluetooth console with call alerts and USB port justify the ₹12,000 over the base. The external fuel filler is standard on all variants.
Who should buy it
Families who use one scooter for school runs, groceries and two-up commuting, and anyone who has run out of storage on an Activa. If refinement and long-term resale matter more than space, stick with the Honda.
Features and colours

On safety kit the Jupiter 125 has front disc brake, combi-brake (cbs) and side-stand engine cut-off. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.
Against Activa 6G, it gets front disc brake, digital console and bluetooth connectivity that the rival does not.
What it lacks: idle start-stop, keyless start and tubeless tyres, which the rival offers. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 5 colours: Titanium Grey, Starlight Blue, Grand Red, Pearl White and Mist Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 5 years or 75,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 4,000 km.
Service reach is good: TVS has about 4,500 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.
On sale since 2021, the Jupiter 125 is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.

- What is the EMI for the Jupiter 125?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹2,540 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.

- Is the Jupiter 125 suitable for short riders?
- Yes. Seat height is 770 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
- Jupiter 125 or Activa 6G: which is better?
- The Activa 6G is ₹0 less expensive to start and less efficient at 47 kmpl against 50 kmpl. Pick the Jupiter 125 for family and shopping runs, the Activa 6G for family use. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Jupiter 125?
- Among the 26 scooters we have reviewed, the Dio (₹74,820), the Jupiter 110 (₹77,352), the Pleasure + (₹70,372) start lower.
- Does the Jupiter 125's 33-litre boot really fit a full-face helmet?
- A compact full-face helmet fits with the visor facing down, but a bulkier full-face or a helmet with a large visor can be tight. Two half-face or open-face helmets fit comfortably, which is the more common daily use case.
- Is the front disc brake variant noticeably safer than the drum version?
- It stops shorter and stays more consistent after repeated hard braking, which matters if you ride two-up or in dense traffic. For light, solo city use the drum with CBS is still adequate, but the disc is the safer buy if the price gap doesn't bother you.
