TVS Ntorq 150 mileage and running cost
Claimed mileage 40 kmpl, real-world 37–42 kmpl. What it costs per km, per month and over five years.
Claimed vs real mileage
Ntorq 150's claimed mileage is 40 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 37–42 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks last for mileage, 9 kmpl below the group average of 49 kmpl.
At Delhi's petrol price of ₹94.80 a litre and a real-world 39.5 kmpl, the Ntorq 150 costs about ₹2.40 per km in fuel. Ride 30 km a day and that is roughly ₹1,872 a month, or ₹22,464 a year, before servicing.
The 5.8-litre tank gives a realistic range of about 229 km, so a 30 km commute means a fill-up every 1 week.
Why the gap exists: claimed vs real-world mileage.
Monthly running cost by city
30 km a day, 26 days a month, at each city's current petrol price.
Five-year cost of ownership

Spread over five years and 46,800 km, the Ntorq 150 works out to about ₹5.6 per km all-in, of which 43% is fuel and 49% is the purchase price itself. Resale value is not counted; expect roughly 50–60% of ex-showroom after five years for a well-kept example.
Getting the best mileage
The quickest wins for the Ntorq 150: keep tyres at the recommended pressure (under-inflation by 5 psi can cost 2–3 kmpl), shift up early, use Eco mode in traffic and avoid idling at long signals, which the idle start-stop system handles for you.
Short trips hurt most. A cold engine on a 2 km run can return half its normal mileage; if that is your use, expect the low end of the real-world band.
Service on time. A clogged air filter or old spark plug shows up in mileage before it shows up anywhere else.
